Thanks to the Refugee Athlete Scholarship programme, Marialejandra has had the opportunity to reconnecting with the sport of shooting – something which brings her back to an easier time before she was forced to leave her home country.
Marialejandra now trains in Mexico alongside her brother Edilio, who is also her coach and a Refugee Athlete Scholarship-holder. Together, they are using shooting as a way to build a new life while continuing to compete at the highest level.
