Alessandra’s innovative project investigates gaps in cancer awareness among adolescents and proposes targeted strategies to enhance education and engagement. Her study, which combined the dissemination of cancer-related facts and trivia with a survey assessing teen awareness, was selected from numerous global submissions and will be featured in the conference’s research showcase.

“This opportunity means so much to me,” said Alessandra. “I’m passionate about making cancer education more accessible to teens and honored to represent my school as I share my findings with an international audience of physicians, scientists, and advocates. I’m thankful to the students and administrators at Christian Brothers High School whose support helped make this possible.”

In addition to her upcoming presentation in Singapore, Alessandra’s research has also been accepted for a poster presentation at the 12th World Congress on Cancer Research and Therapy, to be held in Rome in June 2026.
