Camila Kerwin
Camila came to the Doppler Effect despite her science-less studies in Comparative Literature and Creative Writing. She has met a group of inspiring people through the show, to whom she feels grateful and indebted. Due to minimal expectation about her science background, Camila will cheerfully ask simple questions about big topics, and is always excited to learn something new. Upon graduation, she hopes to pursue radio and/or print journalism, explore her new love of cooking, and get a dog.
