This award is particularly special, as they are chosen solely based on student nominations and feedback. Students spoke highly of Alessandra’s inclusiveness, dynamism, and enthusiasm for the material. Last year she received an honorable mention for this award, so you can see that her impact on the students continues! One of the students in particular stated ” “She explained things with an energy that just made everything she said engaging, even the hardest reactions felt like something understandable- more importantly – something I WANTED to understand, and even master.” Congratulations on winning this well-deserved award.
