In addition to playing catcher for the softball team, Alexa is a marketing intern with Purdue Convocations. Her many roles on campus require her to have excellent time management skills. Alexa recommends, “creating a schedule for every day of the week and also another schedule for the month. Personally, I have a big calendar on one side of my wall that has important exam dates, game days, work days etc.; while the other side is a white board in which I write down everything due for that week. Finally, I have each day of the week mapped out by the hour on my mac. Using this technique has allowed me to see the grand scheme of things while also focusing on one week and one day at a time… and also not become too overwhelmed.”

Alexa credits her parents, boyfriend, friends, and academic advisor for being a loving and understanding support system. She also relies on campus resources, including the Drew Brees Academic Performance Center. The mission of the center is “Developing Champions, Developing Scholars, Developing Citizens” and for Alexa, it has played a vital role in developing study skills and providing tutorial services. Abby Eddy, Director of Marketing for Convocations, stated, “I’ve been amazed with Alexa’s ability to quickly learn new tasks and her ‘can do’ attitude. Whether it’s work, school, or softball- Alexa takes pride in her work and is a huge asset to the department.”
