Sara Sofia Agramonte (June 13, 2080 - November 3, 2183), was a Carinansian politician and scientist, who served as the 16th President of Carinansia between 2125 and 2141. She was the first openly-homosexual person to serve in the position. A member of the Party for the Cárinansian Revolution, her presidency constituted the majority of the Agramonte era, and she is considered one of the most prominent conservative figures in Carinansian history
Early life and career
Early life
Sara Sofia Agramonte was born on June 13, 2080, at the Duke's Hospital in Mollara, Paldonia, Monteguerias. She was the fourth child of Jorge Agramonte Dominguez and Mariana Agramonte. She was raised in Valhuapi, with three older siblings: Roberto, Maria, Isabela and Rodrigo, and four younger sisters. Another younger brother, Jorge, died from carbon monoxide poisoning at the age of seven in 2092. Her paternal grandfather, Juan Carlos O'Neill, was an asylum seeker from Wexford, who was granted asylum in 2035 during the Carinansian blockade of Wexford. Her father was a factory worker in Ochamina. Agramonte has Spanic and Wexfordian ancestry, along with more distant Emmerian, Estovakian, Arcadian, Gloran, and Uateden roots.
Throughout her early life, she was a competitive skier, but retired from the sport after a major injury in 2099, which caused two type 3 quadricep tears, and a broken femur. After recovering over the course of 18 months of physical therapy, she briefly worked as a gas station worker in Sumpatoria in 2102. In March 2103, she participated in the first entry exams to the new Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the newly-opened Alvaro Serrano Paek University, receiving a full scholarship for living funds and accommodation to the institution.
Education
As a student at the university, she excelled in class and graduated summa cum laude in 2106 for a Bachelor of Computer Science. In 2109, she again graduated summa cum laude for a Master of Bioinformatics, and in 2114 she received a Doctor of Philosophy in Bioengineering cum laude. During this doctoral period, there was a year-long university exchange program with the Panguiyante Autonomous University. During this time, she met Dr. Juliana Bitencourt, whom was her professor of chemical engineering. A year after graduating from university, the two legally married.
Career
Upon graduating, she received a job offer from Bitencourt International, Co. in their Cellular Microbiology research and development department. Thus far, she has successfully performed a new synthetic process of Abiogenesis for agricultural crop and rice seeds in her study, Agramonte and Bitencourt (2115) which she worked on with the help of her wife, building on the work of her doctoral thesis. Substantially cheaper than regular agricultural methods, her innovation saw BIC's share price surge by 147.2% in the three months following its public announcement. In 2117, she successfully synthesised a hyperefficient artificial human brain for transplantation, the Agramonte Brain, requiring less kilocalories for functioning while possessing eidetic memory capacities. This research design has thus far been utilised in over ten million transplants across the world. By 2336, it is no longer considered to be at the forefront of technology, but is still considered one of the most revolutionary advancements in biomedical science.
In 2118, she established a national science TV program known as 'Exploring Beyond', which aired 140 hour-long episodes from then until June 1, 2125, when the final episode went live. The most critically-acclaimed episode was 'The Minds We Make' in 2121, where Agramonte delved into the science and ethics behind her pioneering work on the Agramonte Brain. In this episode, Agramonte guided viewers through the process of creating artificial brain tissue, explaining how human consciousness could be replicated and the ethical considerations surrounding it. With over 20 million viewers watching its live premiere, it was the 9th-most viewed TV episode broadcast of all time until then, but today is the 92nd.
