Student Profiles

### Class of 2025 | Miami, Florida | Computer Science

*Alejandro is enrolled in Brown’s Program in Liberal Medical Education, an eight-year program that allows students to combine their undergraduate and medical education. He co-founded the Cuban Brunonians Association and is a co-host of the weekly Outta Pocket Podcast series.*

**One of the goals that I set for myself when coming to Brown was to avoid being boxed in**. Even though I’m pursuing biotechnology as a career, I love to write and play guitar — I think being multifaceted is satisfying for the soul. I took a really fun music theory class. I took a fiction class that was enlightening.

**I’m really glad I did the Third World Transition Program** (a pre-orientation program that centers the student of color experience). I met a lot of upperclassmen friends who were facilitators and made a lot of friends on campus early on. Brown is a very loving and supportive place and community is very central to it. That was something I had been searching for. The moment I got here, TWTP confirmed I had found it.

**The Program in Liberal Medical Education will help me chart a course as a physician-scientist**, working with patients on new technologies that will make their lives better in some way, possibly developing new technologies for amputees from a computer science approach.

**My overarching goal for life is to help make people’s lives better in some way**. That’s the common thread that ties the Cuban Brunonians Association and The Outta Pocket Podcast together, to create spaces for people to be in community and have fun being themselves. I love bringing joy and engagement, which we all need. I hope that thread will run through my career as a physician-scientist.
