As the LBJ School of Public Affairs prepares to welcome its second undergraduate cohort, we are excited to introduce Camila Frith, an incoming freshman interested in sustainability policy and civic engagement.
A born and raised Texan from Brenham, Frith first began thinking about becoming a Longhorn after attending the University of Texas National Institute of Forensics in 2024. That experience gave her a chance to connect with peers who shared her curiosity and drive.
“I knew UT was the perfect place for me to speak my mind and meet other talented peers.”
Frith is excited to join the LBJ School’s second undergrad class and help shape the future of a program that is still growing.
“Being a part of the second undergraduate class at the LBJ School means continuing a legacy. Not only am I able to contribute to this tradition, but I can also apply my knowledge to help shape a better society.”
Her interest in public service began in high school through speech and debate, where she regularly analyzed congressional legislation and delivered speeches advocating for issues she cared about. Those experiences introduced her to public policy as a way to address complex challenges and create meaningful change.
Today, Frith is especially interested in energy and environmental policy, with a focus on responsible natural resource management.
At UT Austin, she looks forward to exploring opportunities across campus while deepening her understanding of public policy through both coursework and real-world experiences.
During her time at the LBJ School, Frith hopes to grow into a leader who inspires others to engage with the issues that matter to them.
“I hope to become a leader whose voice can motivate and inspire others to advocate for a better quality of life."
After graduation, she hopes to work at the Texas Capitol or in government relations as a lobbyist, helping turn ideas into policy.
We're excited to welcome Camila Frith to the LBJ School and look forward to seeing her impact as part of the Class of 2030.
