My neighborhood was a challenging place to grow up—yet being from San Juan is a foundational aspect of the person I have become. I am part of a small group of young girls that had the opportunity to attend a Fe y Alegria School, an alternative education project built to give high-quality educations in poor areas of Peru. This experience changed my life and altered the course of my future. After graduation, I earned a full scholarship to study political science at the University Ruiz de Montoya in Peru. Since then, I have participated in different programs and fellowships like the Professional Fellow Program of the U.S. Department of State in Environmental Issues, and Georgetown University’s Global Competitiveness Leadership Program. In 2018, I earned the Sardon Glass Fellowship to study the Master of Arts in International Relations at Syracuse University. In 2024, I was selected for the inaugural cohort of the Boundless Fellowship, a two-year program for environmental leaders dedicated to protecting the most vital ecosystems in the Americas. In 2016, I co-founded the website Malquerida, an award-winning virtual journalism project that empowers Peruvian women to share their stories and research. The following year, I joined Chicas Poderosas, a global community promoting female leadership and producing knowledge to shape the future of media. Currently, I am developing a personal interdisciplinary media project exploring queerness and immigration in the United States. https://www.luciachuquillanqui.com/projects daily 0.75 2026-01-23 https://www.luciachuquillanqui.com/projects/research monthly 0.5 2026-01-23 https://www.luciachuquillanqui.com/projects/health monthly 0.5 2026-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb86e3ceebafc0f89fe503f/1589406776766-2Y904E3CNB1B19CH1GZ5/hermanas2.gif Projects - Health & Women https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb86e3ceebafc0f89fe503f/1589406899802-NM9NICHYR9G28ZMACNG5/gif-mockupweb.gif Projects - Health & Women https://www.luciachuquillanqui.com/projects/training monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb86e3ceebafc0f89fe503f/1589783624661-UONPVHKEM0G36NJP8UHU/IMG_0413.jpg Projects - Events & Training New Ventures Lab – Google, Sao Paulo, Brazil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb86e3ceebafc0f89fe503f/1589783625566-LFHXP93M54F82MFDJS91/IMG_0003.jpg Projects - Events & Training Professional Fellows Program - Environmental Sustainability - Washington, DC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb86e3ceebafc0f89fe503f/1590381372499-P0FUUT4MUKXMKWSSC2UO/MPM-Video-intro-4.png Projects - Events & Training Online Class: Women, Power and Media. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb86e3ceebafc0f89fe503f/1589783542092-BR3PF8TFIZEPSMJV1M24/IMG_7515.jpg Projects - Events & Training Georgetown University's GCL 2018 Closing Event https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb86e3ceebafc0f89fe503f/1589783566098-O8EFH92U1H7IALXT09CX/IMG_7893.jpg Projects - Events & Training Meeting with Georgetown University President, John J.
