Amanda Campos
Amanda Campos (she/her) is a rising senior studying environmental and energy policy and justice. Born in the iconic city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, she moved to the 20-million-people, skyscrapers-filled São Paulo when she was 4 years old and then to South Florida when she was 13. She is a climate justice activist, a cloud lover, and would do anything for dragons to be real. She has worked at an environmental conservancy, at the Department of Justice's environmental division, and in environmental justice policy advocacy. She dreams of going to law school to study environmental law and make Big Oil polluters pay.
Sebastian Esteva
Sebastian is a rising senior, FLI, Mexican-American, with a love for long evening walks, climbing, and listening to way too many audiobooks.

Sebastian is in SENSA consulting and is the Course Coordinator for Mind over Money, Stanford's financial literacy program. Catch him anytime for a talk about intersectional energy issues, life, or just about the house ('25-'26 will be his fourth year with the Energy dorm!).

Beyond her academic interests, she enjoys reading, cooking, and diving into futuristic ideas!
Hannah Pescaru
Hannah (she/her) is a senior from Chicago majoring in Chemistry. Hannah is interested in urban and global health equity and has participated in numerous initiatives to address disparities in clinical care. She currently manages Stanford's Home Medical Equipment Program and organizes a community health worker program that promotes health literacy for high-school students around the world. In her free time, Hannah enjoys going on long walks, baking, and experimenting with new artistic crafts.
Anders Luffman
Anders is a rising senior in Energy Science and Engineering with minors in Public Policy and Computer Science, and he is pursuing a coterminal masters degree in Management Science and Engineering. Anders' interests include energy policy, electricity regulation, and grid revitalization. He has experience in the energy consulting field, with an internship at TRC companies and Baringa.

Don’t hesitate to ask Anders about professional development, the Stanford social scene, or the meaning of life!
Lizbeth Zambrano-Sanchez
Lizbeth is a junior descending from land defenders in Michoacán, Mexico to farm workers and gardeners in East Los Angeles. She is a FLI junior majoring in Earth Systems and minoring in Native American studies. She is interested in tackling green colonialism—how the resources needed for renewable energy can threaten Indigenous land and people. Outside of energy, she loves reading poetry and memoirs, swimming, and Regional Mexican music. She is so excited to be a house leader and help students feel supported and comfortable on campus!
