Recruited to play Division I women’s golf at USF, it’s no surprise you’ll find Juliana Camargo Torres on the golf course. She practices up to 20 hours a week, and that’s not including playing time in tournaments.
As a standout student-athlete, she was recognized as part of the 2023 Academic All-District Women’s At-Large team and as a WGGA All-American Scholar for two consecutive years.
However the finance and philosophy major knows gaining professional experience and making an impact on campus is equally important.
This past August, Camargo Torres became a founding executive board member of USF’s Scholars of Finance. Unlike other student finance organizations, the club goes beyond developing hard skills.
The chapter focuses on creating authenticity and integrity, and prides itself on helping members develop a higher sense of self-awareness and introspection.
As vice president of professional development, Camargo Torres managed the Speaker Series. She invited prominent professionals in the finance industry to speak about their guiding principles. It’s important for members to be inspired to be the best versions of themselves and become the leaders our world needs, she said.
Beyond the classroom, Camargo Torres interned at Nestle last summer, where she developed a holistic scorecard for the factory. She’s currently in a nonprofit consulting externship with PwC and will be a 2024 commercial banking intern at South State Bank this summer.
Her other love is teaching Latin cardio dance classes at the campus recreation center. Through movement, she hopes to cultivate a safe environment where USF students improve their physical, mental and emotional health.
