Alexa was born in Tucson, Arizona. She first came to Centreville in 2022 as a freshman, and since then, she has found a strong sense of community through both academics and extracurricular activities.
As a writer, her goal is to continue improving her ability to communicate ideas clearly, creatively and with purpose. She wants to develop a voice that not only informs but also connects with readers on a deeper level. As an aspiring journalist, she hopes to tell stories that matter and provide accurate and thoughtful reporting.
Outside of writing, she is on the Varsity Field Hockey team and works at The Nest Egg and Francesca’s in Fairfax. Alexa looks forward to bringing curiosity, professionalism and passion to her work with the CVHS community and beyond.
