Danisa Alejandra Astudillo Peiretti (born 3 May 1975) is a Chilean politician who serves as deputy.[2][3]
A member of the Socialist Party of Chile, she has served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies of Chile representing the Tarapacá Region since 2022.[4]
After graduating as a commercial engineer, Astudillo began her professional career in public service, working in various state institutions, including the Housing Service, the Ministry of National Assets, and the National Youth Institute (INJUV).[4]
Astudillo was born on 3 May 1975 in the former Oficina Salitrera Victoria, near Iquique. She is the daughter of Luis Astudillo Ardiles and Luz Peiretti Peña, and the sister of Luis Astudillo Peiretti, who served as a municipal councillor (2016–2021) and later as mayor of Pedro Aguirre Cerda (2021–2025).
She completed her primary education up to fourth grade at Trinity College. In 1985, after her family moved to France, she continued her studies at Lycée Champlain in Chennevières-sur-Marne. She later returned to Chile and studied commercial engineering at the Catholic University of the North in Antofagasta, graduating in 2000. Her undergraduate thesis focused on sustainability models for economies based on non-renewable resources, with a case study on nitrate extraction in northern Chile.
She also holds postgraduate diplomas in human resources and entrepreneurial leadership, as well as a master’s degree in public management.[4]
