Resilience
In February of 2020, Alexis suddenly lost her father in a tragic car accident. With his passing, she lost huge portion of her support system, not only emotionally but also financially. In spite of earned scholarships, financial aid and her family’s contribution, Alexis still has a considerable amount of tuition to be covered.
