About Alexander<\/span><\/h2>\n

Alex is a current second-year student in the School of Public Affairs at American University. Alex intends to graduate in 2022 with a double major in Political Science and Public Relations, and a certificate in Advanced Leadership Studies from the SPA Leadership Program. After college, Alex intends on studying\u00a0Constitutional Law with the intent of running for an elected office or working as a lobbyist. <\/big><\/strong><\/p>\n

Growing up in Seaside, California, Alex spent his early summers working at Monterey Airbus, a private transport company. There he learned the value of hard work and acquired verbal and written communication skills to facilitate\u00a0the division of work. From there, Alex managed a team of students as the Sports Editor of the publication\u00a0Tusitala, worked as a school tour guide, and taught a freshman class at his high school, The Robert Louis Stevenson School. However, Alex got his big break when he was hired as a Business Development Intern at the tech startup, GroundWork. While originally working on maintaining\u00a0a social media presence, Alex was quickly promoted to the translation of business and legal documents, website development and research\u00a0projects. Here, Alex learned a plethora\u00a0of skills related towards computer usage, such as WordPress, Weebly, Microsoft Office as well as being able to work on his corporate\u00a0Spanish, a language he is fluent in. After moving to D.C., Alex quickly entered into the world of Washinton Politics, interning with Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph. D (NC-12). With the Congresswoman, Alex answered and replied to constituent concerns, gave tours and attended and wrote policy briefings. Recently, Alex accepted a position as a lobbying intern with ML Strategies, a division of\u00a0Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky, and Popeo.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
