Bio
Hi! My name is Mirella (or “Mire” for short) and I am an Electronic Engineering junior student at Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología (UTEC) in Peru. My motto in life? : "Whatever you decide to do, make sure it makes you happy"- Paulo Coelho. This is why I decided to study to my major and add some of my passions into it: creativity and teaching. Ever since I was little, I had been interested in the Robotics field, and growing up, education and mental health became other interests in my life.
One of the things I am most passionate about is education, and in a special way, to get students to reach their full potential. At UTEC, I give tutoring and lab lessons in the course of Thermodynamics. This has helped me being aware of my peers different learning abilities, their struggles and now, I am working on different ways to strengthen their potential. In another hand, given that I am interested in robotics (as my minor) and mental health, I had been leading a team since in late 2018 where we had been developing a robot named A.R.C.A, that will contribute to improve elderly mental health by making them feel accompanied at home, helping reduce their depression rate.
I can describe myself as a empathic, curious and creative person. When you can't find me working on robotics related projects at UTEC or giving tutoring, you may find me playing guitar covers of my favourite artists, baking with my mom or sister , reading books or watching Figure Skating competitions (big fan). Since there is no ice skating rinks in Peru, I am determined to learn how to rollerskate sometime soon.
