She is a ball of energy with a desire to change and help those that don't have a voice. At our first formal meeting she tells me all about her job at our local alternative school. 

 Listen as this townie talks working at the juvenile detention center, earning trust and respect, becoming an accidental liaison for the lost pets in our community, turning off social media for self-preservation, losing students to gun violence, student success stories and taking away any excuse not to move forward by providing resources and support to kids who need it. And want it. Alexis has a gift to relate and communicate to those who need help. Thank you, Alexis, for providing our community with brighter futures.
