He received both the Jack Kent Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship and Graduate Scholarship. “I [was] an immigrant with only five years in the United States, with good enough English to pass through my classes,” Alessandro recounted, “but I never thought I was good enough for Cornell. When I got the scholarship, that was the moment I said ‘I can go to Cornell right now.'” Alessandro enjoys and is a great Latin-music dancer!

She transferred with a full-ride scholarship to UC Berkeley earning a B.S in Nutrition & Toxicology- Physiology and Metabolism in 2019. After graduating, Vanessa spent 2.5 years performing public health research related to skin cancer prevention/management and diversity in medicine, while also being involved in her community as a Sonoma County Mental Health Board District Representative.
