Camila Ceballos is a sophomore majoring in International Relations and minoring in Social Entrepreneurship. She is not Camila Cabello, and be careful not to confuse them, or else. In her free time, she likes to take her camera everywhere and take pictures of people and places in New York. Camila's current purpose in life are photo essays and NYFW. She's always down to go to yoga or talk about the NBA (especially the Lakers), so talk to her at [email protected] and follow her at @camilaceballoss to give her some clout.
