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 my major and add some of my passion into it: creativity and teaching. Ever since I was little, I had been interested in the Robotics field, and as I grew 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 and their struggles to learn. 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 also in mental health, I had been leading a team since 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.
