Alex is a freshman entering The Central Trend as a junior writer. Alex is really passionate about music and writing. She has wanted to write for The Central Trend since she heard about it in fifth grade. Writing makes her extremely happy since she is able to show how she is feeling without having to talk about it—something she struggles with. Alex spends most of her time practicing music—guitar and voice—or at the Forest Hills boathouse for crew practice. She hopes to make people feel heard and moved with her writing.
Favorite place to be: In her bed or at the boathouse
Favorite Bath and Body Works scent: "Honey Wildflower"
Where Alex would be on a Saturday night: On her couch reading or watching TikTok
