Alex Hilbert is an undergraduate Ocean Engineering student at the University of Rhode Island, set to graduate in May 2027. She is also pursuing minors in Oceanography and Mathematics, aiming to integrate these disciplines into her future work in coastal resilience. Passionate about sustainable engineering, Alex aspires to develop solutions that protect and strengthen coastal communities in the face of environmental challenges.

Growing up in Annapolis, Maryland, Alex developed a deep connection to the water from an early age. Her fascination with the ocean, combined with her love for math and applied sciences, made Ocean Engineering a natural choice. Beyond academics, she is actively involved on campus, from teaching fitness classes at the gym to serving as the secretary of Engineers Without Borders. By applying her skills outside the classroom, Alex continuously seeks opportunities to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact.
