Alexa Izquierdo - Founder of Thyrothreads:

Alexa, a Senior at the Southern School of Energy and Sustainability, is deeply committed to raising awareness and funds for thyroid cancer research. Her journey with hypothyroidism, which began at the age of six, inspired her to take action by creating crocheted and knitted items that support this vital cause. At ThyroThreads, Alexa wears many hats, expertly managing financials, crafting beautiful products, creating content, and leading outreach efforts. Beyond her dedication to ThyroThreads, she loves watching shows, reading, thrifting, and indulging her creativity by building with Legos.
