Alexis earned her BA in English writing with minors in Psychology and global studies from Montana State University, where she balanced her time between the Mountains and the classroom somewhat disproportionally. She transitioned into her Master’s of Journalism at the University of British Columbia in the fall of 2025 with hopes of uncovering the truth in long-form global, investigative, equal rights, and social movements coverage. During her undergraduate studies, Alexis developed her skills as a journalist, writer, and editor in various roles — from co-founding the digital literary magazine The Times NOU to reporting on the self-governing community of Christiania (Freetown) in Denmark as an ethnographer. Alexis writes for The Ubyssey and The Source as a contributing journalist and teaches writing and literature to Chinese students who have immigrated to Vancouver or are in the process of doing so. When she has time between deadlines, she loves reading and writing memoirs and micro essays.
