FinalistBio
Xandria Quichocho is an Afro-Chamorro physicist, recently graduated from Texas State University and attending Michigan State University for graduate school in the Fall. She currently serves as the Associate Director of the Texas State Physics LA Program. Along with her work into intersectional physics identity, she is looking into how a community-centered LA helps aid in physics identity development for traditionally marginalized students. It is her goal to attend a PER-focused graduate program and become someone who has the power to help other women with identities similar to herself.
She spends much of her free time with her dog Facetiming her three sisters and mamma. In an effort to have “hobbies”, she finds rocks to climb and trails to bike. When she falls down N=3 times, she goes back home to study and teach cello, then performs “Rainbow Connection” to an empty room on her ukulele when spending late nights in the education lab.
