Hi, I'm Alessandra
I'm a graduating senior from the Arlington Career Center and a graduating Computer Science major with an associates from the Northern Virginia Community College.
I'm currently an engineering and HR intern at AlexRenew. I've assisted in tracking and recording engineering items used in the RiverRenew project, finalizing engineering documentation for the RiverRenew project, cost analysis and breakdowns for the PhaseForward project, and creating training materials for new plant operators.
Outside of engineering, I've been teaching since I was 14: programming, swimming, and robotics. I believe the best leaders grow people, not just products. As Robotics Captain of a 60-person team, that's exactly what I try to do every day.
