i like it.

look at you, digging deep.

I love that you want to know more.

Lets get a little more personal and a little less professional for a moment.

One of my favorite sayings is, "if you never tell them, how will they know?"

so if you're willing to listen, im willing to share, this is me...

Meet little Alexa! I was born and raised in Eldorado Illinois, population 4,000.

Growing up, I played every sport imaginable, never sat still for more than 5 minutes at a time, talked to anyone and everyone that would listen to me, and loved being around people.

**Take note of this one, pink is very important later on.**

I graduated high school valedictorian of a class of 71 (...massive, I know) with just shy of an associates degree.

During high school, I was class president, student body president, art club president, business club president, captain of the scholar bowl team, and a 3 sport athlete (4 if you include the speech team! ...which most of rural farm town Illinois did not)

...and you guessed it, still not sitting still for more than 5 minutes at a time.

I'm a bee keeper! My dad and I got into bee keeping when a neighbor of ours did back in 2017!

The process was so cool and the local honey they produced was divine. One day we thought how hard can it be? Hard. The answer was very hard.

But we persevered anyway. Now, its one of my favorite hobbies and I could chat about it for hours.

I've been participating in the Polar Plunge and fundraising for the Special Olympics since 2018 and have also gotten to be a Special Olympics Basketball coach.

I've been able to raise over $6,000 to support special olympics athletes since starting in 2018.

(The polar plunge is an annual event to raise money for the special olympics where people sponsor you to jump into extremely cold, often near-freezing water.)

At 19, I started my own jewelry company from scratch. Mostly because I wanted to see if I could. I’ve always had an ambitious streak, and what began as a small personal challenge quickly turned into something real.

I taught myself branding, marketing, production, customer service… every late-night order and every small win adding up over time.

Since launching in late 2023, I’ve grown that “little experiment” into over six figures in revenue. Its humbled me, pushed me, and showed me exactly what I’m capable of building when I pour my heart into something.

Fun Fact: I'm a love trivia.

Want a fun game? Trivia.

Want a challenge? Trivia.

Want a competition? Trivia.

Need I say more?

I was the scholar bowl captain (essentially school sanctioned trivia) in high school and I'm also the two time reining champ of UO IDSA trivia (anyone from UO reading this, Ill be coming back to keep my crown)

Any place in town having a trivia night? Im there, simple as that.

At my core, I love to paint murals and hand embroidery. These are two of the skills I picked up in high school art classes that eventually led to my passion for design.

This is my Mawmaw.

Back in 2024 one of my favorite people on this planet fought breast cancer and won.

Pink isn't just a color. Pink is strength. Pink is courage. Pink is defying the odds.

My Mawmaw is pink.

The world needs more pink.
