Maria Josefina Martinez is a University Innovation Fellow and she is a first year electronic engineering student at Universidad Católica del Uruguay. Once finished this career, she wants to study Industrial Design. She actually lives in Ciudad de la Costa, located on the outskirts of Uruguay's capital.
Since she was a little girl, she always came up with crazy ideas to solve common daily problems. Currently, she wants to develop and carry out these ideas, inpired by her sister who is 17 years older than her and always supporting her in everything she wants to achieve. Being crazy for invenntions and her interest to know new people were the main reasons she decided to postulate for the UIF program.
Josefina feels distinguished by her Vitiligo, a skin condition that determines her skin to have two diferent colours. This motivates her to come along with other people with the same condition. Vitiligo also strongly influenced in her major choice, considering the possibility to develop a microelectronic investigation to influence in skin behaviour, also supported by her sister who has a PhD in microbiology.
During her spare time, she loves doing sports and spending time with her family. Also, she participates in a community committed in rescuing dogs in her neighbourhood, and she spends her Saturdays teaching catechesis at the school “Salesiano de la Costa”. She has always helped in social institutions, nowadays she is a volunteer in Teleton Uruguay, a rehabilitation center for children with disabilities.
She firmly believes that daring to experiment new things is the best way to learn what is best for each of us.
