    Amateur Adventurer

    Salt Lake City, UT

    Work Hard, Play Harder

    You can usually find her on the side of a mountain, in the gym, or racking up miles around the city. She's also been known to climb rocks and ride a bike. Alexis is no stranger to working hard, braving the elements, and pushing yourself to the limit mentally and physically. After tearing her ACL, MCL, and meniscus while skiing during the peak of ultramarathon training, Alexis has spent tireless hours in PT, at the gym, and on the trail. With the new perspective she has gained from her recovery journey, she is determined to come back better than ever. Not only is Alexis an accomplished amateur athlete, but she also graduated from the University of Utah with her B.S. in Chemical Engineering and now works full-time to support herself and her beloved cat.
