Patrick Maddren went on to detail Alexis’ leadership as discussed in her video essay submission for the Patrick Maddren Scholarship stating, “Alexis shared real life examples of times she stepped up to lead her peers, but what I also took note of was her ability to multitask and balance numerous responsibilities at one time. I believe that’s one of the most underrated skills of a successful leader and entrepreneur.”

Alexis is excited about her future adventures in Hospitality. However, she also has several hobbies that she enjoys in her free time. “I love the ocean, surfing, hiking, and photography, so I cannot wait to explore the island of Hawaii.” Alexis picked one of the best places to study hospitality, Hawaii Pacific University.
