From this association, Alexa is now a three-time Great Lakes Planetarium Association presenter, in addition to having executed in-house public showings throughout the school semesters.

Alexa has won numerous awards throughout her experiences; for thirteen years she trained at the University of Delaware in Olympic Figure Skating with Olympic medalist Ron Ludington and Barbara Rolls Williams.

Currently, Alexa has been working on her own animated television series. She has always been a creator, from the time she could hold a crayon in her hand.

With great pride, Alexa is the new Digital Content Designer & Animator for NASA’s Project CosmoQuest and Youngstown State University.
