Fil-Am teen genius continues to shake up the Science world

Consistency is what molds average into excellence and Fil-Am teen prodigy Alessandra ‘Storm’ Maurizio sure knows how to keep her stats on solid ground with a bunch of new accolades.

Armed with her penchant to push her limits and reach new heights, she’s pioneering a frontier in the field of Science — a saga that continues to evolve faster than we have expected.

Storm first soared in the world of Science when, as a 12-year-old student, she presented at the 49th Annual Global Congress on Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS) in 2020. One might think it’s a plot for a Netflix series but for her, it’s just a normal day in her extraordinary life.

Her research, presented at the AAGL focused on the study, “Do Children that Play Video Games Perform Better in Surgery?” And with a GPA of 4.86, it’s not surprising that such a young mind could achieve such a feat while also acing her academic stats.

Her journey didn’t stop there. Her saga of achievements continues to unfold:

January 19: She was handed the Award of Excellence from the National Academy of Future Physicians in Cambridge, Massachussets

February 3: Storm bagged 8 medals at the high school Academic Decathlon 2023-2024 for Christian Brothers High School while also snagging the third place in all year levels of the three United States Academic Decathlon divisions including all 15 Sacramento and Placer high schools in California.

With each accolade, Storm redefines what the younger generation is capable of — armed with hard work, perseverance and a supportive family. 

As she continues to break records and barriers on the science scene, one can’t help but wonder, what would she conquer next?
