Alexa is originally from Fort Wayne, Indiana and is an IU Bloomington alum. Prior to her work at the CDC/ASCS, Alexa completed a year-long graduate internship working as a guidance counselor in a high school, helping 9th through 12th graders clarify and plan for their academic, career, and personal goals.
