Alexa is a sophomore at Bernards High School and is a second-year journalism student. Alexa took this class because her mom encouraged her to, and she is excited to conduct interviews and write opinion and sports articles. Alexa’s favorite subjects in school are biology and english. She also plays three sports- soccer, lacrosse, and basketball. Her favorite sport is soccer as she enjoyed winning the conference in her high-school season and spending time with her teammates. Outside of sports, Alexa likes to hang out with friends and take her dog Gus on walks.
