Alex ...
    ... is a freshman from Placentia, CA
       ... is a die-hard Disney fan
           ... majoring in biology with the goal of becoming a wildlife veterinarian
               ... loves to read
                   ... would like to learn parkour
                       ... wouldn't be caught dead eating fish
Alex's worst injury was a partly-torn pinky tendon. Her moto in life is "Don't put effort into things that don't matter."
If Alex could be any animal, she would be a snowy owl because they are awesome predators and can fly. She thinks the secret to a great life is Jesus.
To get to know your student-athletes, keep a lookout for more Highlander Highlights!
To support Alex and the rest of the student-athletes that make up our 17 intercollegiate sports, please donate to the UC Riverside Athletics Association by visiting the Association's web site.
