Courtesy of University City High School:
Alexa is very passionate about learning and thoroughly enjoys studying the sciences. Her favorite subject in high school was math because, she says, “I had an amazing professor”; and Calculus was her favorite course.
She is a competitive soccer player and has been playing for six years. Alexa loves soccer because she feels it provides a constructive outlet to help manage and balance her time with schoolwork and other extracurricular activities. She loves being a part of a team and always working her hardest to do the best for her teammates.
Soccer is her main commitment outside of school, is either practicing or performing supplemental training programs on a daily basis. In addition to soccer she played volleyball, tennis, and track and field, and have participated in numerous clubs, including California Scholarship Federation (CSF).
Participating in volunteer and outreach programs helped Alexa decide on her major and future career path. The summer before her senior year she spent two weeks doing ecological interning and volunteer work in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, which opened her eyes to an incredible field of work and helped her rediscover a passion for biology, animal sciences, conservation and the environment.
Alexa will be attending Dartmouth College, and plans to major in biology and environmental studies. Alexa graduates with a 4.86 GPA.
