Lead Physical Therapy Aide
Alexis was raised in Anaheim Hills, CA. She had played many sports as a child but mainly focused on gymnastics and continued to compete competitively for 5 years. After her gymnastics days were over, Alexis moved on to cheerleading, where she was on varsity cheer as a base at Orange Lutheran High School for 2 years.
Alexis currently attends Cal State Fullerton majoring in Kinesiology. Alexis has said she has wanted to be a physical therapist since she was 12 years old when she quit gymnastics. She was tired of being the patient and thought it was time she became the doctor. Her love for sports and her love for helping people go hand in hand in creating the motivation to one day become a physical therapist. Alexis believes it is so rewarding to help people become the person they want to be. After graduating with her Bachelors in Kinesiology, Alexis plans on taking a year off to take more classes and continue her journey to PT school in the Fall of 2022.
In her free time, Alexis enjoys traveling, going to the beach, and being with her family! She is very excited to continue her journey at Core Performance to help so many amazing people, while also learning from the best therapists!
