Alex

Alex has been involved in an after-school program since the third grade; first at Cabrini Green Tutoring Program, then graduating and joining us here. Alex has been working with Rupa for the past couple of years here at Cabrini Connections.

Alex grew up in Chicago; Humboldt Park and Logan Square are just a couple of neighborhoods she has lived in here. Even though she is only a sophomore at Noble Street College Prep, where geometry is her favorite subject, she is already considering a Midwest college for her post-high school career. DePauw University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and University of Illinois-Champaign/Urbana are just a few of the schools she is looking into. Alex is considering studies in the arts: possibly music or theater.

Alex enjoys drawing and singing in her free time, and we have Alex to thank for three new students just in this school year alone!
