Alejandro Vilches’ story is about what it takes to make connections and wake up to the world around us. He was born in Bryan, Texas, but grew up in Honduras where his family is from. At the age of 28 Alejandro decided to come to the US for graduate school, seeking a new academic and professional challenge. However, he found a completely different challenge trying to adapt to a new culture, trying to reconcile two different value systems, two different worlds. Today he works as a Software Engineer and is also very passionate about volunteer work, helping introduce kids from underrepresented communities to STEM. In his free time he plays soccer for fun, but also as his duty to not lose his Honduran citizenship.
