On campus, Alex is deeply involved in La Casa’s community, having been on staff since her first year and previously serving as Head Student Coordinator. She loves poetry and has found home in ¡Oye! Spoken Word, and she and her friends founded Yale Lawtinas, Yale’s first Latina pre-law organization.
