Her fundamental values are resilience, hard-work, teamwork, entrepreneurship and innovation. Irina is originally from Montevideo, Uruguay, where she lived for a few years before having to move to San Javier, then a few years later to Fray Bentos where she lived most of her life, before moving back to Montevideo to get an Industrial Engineering degree. After seven years, assisting to three different universities in this city pursuing the same major, and personal reasons she decided to go back to Fray Bentos, and race her son as a single mom while working part time and studying Mechatronics Engineering at UTEC, where she participated from the Stanford’s University Innovation Fellows program.
