Watch out gamers, the best skribbl.io player is here! What
got her into the exciting world of iGEM is the huge
potential it has to help people, especially in the medical
field. Being the resident wiki expert, Alexa offers great
advice and solutions to the dry lab team when there are
coding issues. She also takes initiative by taking great
