All characteristics we look for in a prospective instructor. In 2014 Alexandria signed on as a counselor for our Rock the Mic vocal camps where she mentored and accompanied vocal students. We added her to our 2015 substitute teacher roster and in 2016 we invited her to join our staff as a Voice, Guitar, Piano, and Ukulele instructor. She graduated McKinney Boyd High School where she maintained an active academic schedule that included the National Honor Society, International Thespian Society, Varsity Mixed Choir and Theatre. Alex graduated the University of Texas at Dallas in 2022.
