Dreams, Role Models, and Favorite Moments
Alexia's dream is to become a real estate agent, inspired by her mother, who she describes as a hardworking trailblazer. Her mom not only excelled in sports at UNCC but also shaped Alexia into the determined woman she is today.

One of Alexia's fondest memories at Clinton College is hearing the crowd chant, "Go big Lexi!" after a score, followed by her signature dance. Another standout moment was her dominant performance at Johnson and Wales and her powerful blocks during the game at Pensacola.
Off the court, Alexia's favorite comfort food is macaroni and cheese, and if given the chance, she'd love to have dinner with her volleyball coach, Coach T, and her former basketball coach, Coach England from Catawba Valley.
Why Clinton College?
For Alexia, Clinton College felt like home from the start. Its close-knit community and proximity to her roots made it the perfect place to grow academically and athletically.
