Alexa Conrado

Hi, my name is Alexa Conrado and I'm currently an undergrad student at the University of Florida. I'm currently dual majoring in Psychology and Sociology with a minor in statistics and I'm hoping to further my education by getting a PhD as a clinical psychologist.

I grew up in South Florida in a city called Pembroke Pines which resides about 30 minutes from Miami. My mom is from Argentina and my dad is from Nicaragua so I'm a 20 year old Hispanic woman. Growing up, I did martial arts for ten years and made it to my first degree black belt. I've also always been very passionate about politics and some pop culture although I believe I've fallen behind on references since then.

I'm very passionate about food. I love trying different types of foods from different cultures and I never shy away from new experiences when it comes to food. I've got adventurous taste buds and I believe in trying everything at least once because you'll never know what you may like. I have a bit of a quirk when trying new foods, for example, when I find a new restaurant near me that I like, I enjoy visiting it multiple times and attempting to try the whole menu in the order that it's presented if I know that it's a restaurant that I'll realistically be able to frequent. I also enjoy watching other people eat, whether it's through mukbangs or other similar ways. I enjoy the way that people's faces and eyes light up when they're eating something they're enjoying and it helps remind me that we're all human.
