Although Alexa is a senior at WEGO, she is the captain of the dance team.

Something unique about Alexa is that she was an exchange student in France for a week and a half last spring.

Alexa’s favorite music artist at the moment is Lana Del Rey.

Looking ahead into her future, Alexa is planning to go to college to be a nurse.
