Alexa is passionate about learning, leading, and serving others. Throughout high school she was given the incredible opportunity to serve as a board member of the National Honors Society, Vice President of SHS, a student ambassador, and a leader on many retreats. She also spent a great deal of time as a captain of the cheer squad, was named a UCA All-American Cheerleader and served as a member of the Colorado Elite Quad. Alexa worked in her church as a co-president of her youth group and member of the praise team. She also served her community, volunteering at homeless shelters and local middle schools as well as founding a non-profit organization to provide books for local underprivileged children. Alexa loves getting to know new people, spending time outside, and listening to music. She cannot wait to enjoy all of the opportunities Santa Clara will give her in her upcoming school year.
