Her journey into bioengineering was driven by a deep fascination with understanding human behavior and a love for neurosciences and behavioral sciences. Initially, she pursued psychology, enjoying her studies but feeling something was missing. She yearned for hands-on experience in solving health problems, working in laboratories, programming functional codes, and building solutions. Discovering UTEC's bioengineering program was a turning point, solidifying her aspirations.
Academically, Alexandra is highly engaged in campus life, participating in various clubs such as Blyfor (medical robotics), EMBS (biomedical engineering), SBE (biomaterials), and K12 (volunteering to teach kids). She is also leads a member of the leading team of the neuroscience club at her university, NeuroUtec. A natural competitor, Alexandra is currently involved in prestigious competitions like the Cleveland Clinic Summit, Disrupton, and Prototypes for Humanity. Also, she is part of an interdisciplinary team developing a bionic arm prosthesis, showcasing their prototype at events like Open Day and Tu Vocación STEM.
Outside of academics, in her free time, she enjoys playing video games, reading manga, and visiting museums.
