Alexa Carranza Hernández

Soy Alexa, estudiante de Ingeniería Industrial y de Sistemas en el Tec de Monterrey. Me considero una persona responsable, disciplinada y con metas claras: eso se refleja tanto en lo académico (9.4 de promedio, tres primeros lugares nacionales en ciencias exactas) como en mi trabajo, donde me ha tocado moverme entre lo farmacéutico y lo industrial —AstraZeneca, General Motors, Boston Scientific, Teva— resolviendo problemas de cadena de suministro y estrategia de negocio.

Fuera del trabajo, hacer ejercicio es parte importante de mi rutina; me ayuda a mantener la disciplina y la cabeza clara para todo lo demás. Soy trilingüe (español, inglés, francés), curiosa por naturaleza y me gusta entender el "por qué" antes de actuar. También he tomado roles de liderazgo por gusto, no por obligación, como en mesas directivas de asociaciones estudiantiles.

En pocas palabras: disciplina, metas claras y ganas constantes de seguir aprendiendo.
