Alex has been an important part of our RecWell team since October 2024. She’s grateful for the opportunity to get to know her coworkers and the friendly environment at work.

When she's not at work, Alex enjoys socializing with friends and spending time outside. This year, she’s aiming to reach an exciting new milestone: getting into the VCU School of Nursing!
