• March 2019
Camélia Meftoul is a 22-year old student studying Civil Engineering at the University of Southern California. She grew up in Casablanca, in an eminently culturally diverse environment, before moving to Los Angeles at 17 to pursue her studies. Her experiences shaped her unique perspective on the world and have created a strong will to understand the notion of identity.
As a young woman in STEM, Camélia has stayed very active in her community, where she has held executive positions at the University of Southern California chapters of international organizations,
including Vice-President of the Construction Management Association of America, Geotechnical Team Capitan of the American Society of Civil Engineers and Membership Chair of Alpha Omega
Epsilon.
In an effort to promote STEM fields, Camélia has mentored girls in middle-schools by shedding light to females in Engineering, and hopes to encourage more Moroccan girls to follow such careers and
become the powerful leaders of tomorrow.
