Talent: “Reach, Throw, Tow, but Don’t Go: The key to staying safe while enjoying Minnesota’s 10,000 Lakes
Social Impact: Calling All Minn”IN”sotans: Are You IN? Southern Sweeps - Great Lakes, Granite City, Heartland, and Itasca Date: TBA “Be bold enough to dream & Be brave enough to try” is the quote that pushed Alexis to compete for the first time within the Miss America Organization. At her first sweeps competition, Alexis was crowned as Miss Heartland. A title that hits a little close to the heart as a survivor of open heart surgery.
With the title of Miss Heartland, Alexis is eager to share her passion for volunteering through her social impact initiative: Calling All Minn”IN”sotans: Are You IN?. To her, volunteering is found at the heart of strong communities, impactful organizations, and of good people. As an unofficial official volunteer since the age of 8 for over 50 different organizations, she has lived through both sides of the impacts and inspiration volunteer work creates. Working hand in hand with her passion for volunteer work and her social impact initiative, Alexis is hopeful of fostering inspiration and impact in others through initiating action and conversation about volunteer involvement. For she believes that we create brighter futures for all when we volunteer. |

Alexis knows that stronger communities are made through awareness. With that, Alexis wants to dedicate her talent through sharing “Reach, Throw, Tow, but Don’t Go: The key to staying safe while enjoying Minnesota’s 10,000 Lakes”. This safety briefing focuses on educating fellow lake lovers on what to do in the event of a drowning. As an advocate for preventive healthcare education and working as an ALS Emergency Medical Technician, she believes it is important to keep people safe and out living their best lives.
Alexis intends on cumulating her love of volunteering and medicine in a career that advocates for human rights. As of right now, Alexis is a full-time student with Columbia Southern University preparing to transfer to the University of Texas at Austin. There she plans on double majoring in Biology and Political Science. When she is not preparing for her future, Alexis is responding to medical emergencies as a full-time ALS EMT within the Twin Cities Metro Area. She adores the duality of her studies and employment and hopes to implement that in her post-graduate career.
When Alexis is not driving lights and sirens or learning the intricacies of politics. Alexis takes on one of her plethora of hobbies. You may find her in the gym trying to learn how to lift heavy things, cooking up her current favorite meal, or reading about the basic human rights that are found in feminism. She may also be seen driving up and down the state listening to anything from EDM to R&B with her beloved border collie, Sadie, while trying to find the best coffee or fare in the cities.
Alexis cannot believe what the future holds for her first time experience at Miss Minnesota. Feel welcome to follow her journey @Missheartlandmn (Instagram) or Miss Heartland 2022 (Facebook). She is excited to share this one-of-a-kind experience with you!
