As a native New Yorker, residing in Huntington, Alexia is a 21-year-old young lady, with what she likes to refer to as “Up Syndrome” instead of Down Syndrome, as it best describes her vibrant and contagiously upbeat personality!

Alexia radiates beauty both inside and out. She loves life and is always on the lookout for the next adventure to embark on. She is sassy, loving, energetic, artistic, and very fashionable! Her self confidence aspires her to be a model/actor. She loves traveling, exploring different cuisines, music, reading books, movies and sailing on the family boat - seeking the thrill of speed through the waters.

The creative freedom of art and dancing motivates and inspires her. Alexia is extremely engaging and cherishes time spent with friends and family!

Also, a visionary, she is the co-founder of an all-abilities cardio boxing program - ‘The Boxfitness Experience’ at New York Fitness and Boxing gym in New York. Staying fit, she trains in boxing and takes barre classes. Alexia has also been a dancer for her high school varsity dance team for four years, performing at homecoming events. Her weekly agenda also includes acting classes and art classes.

She co-hosts dance socials for the special needs community and enjoys taking part and volunteering in fundraising events, interacting with people, and promoting product. She just loves immersing herself in her community!

Currently a student and a model, alexia is having fun navigating a full schedule. She attends a life skills and vocational program, studying Graphic Arts at Wilson Tech and is a trainee at Gregorys coffee shop.

She aspires to have a career in the Arts as an entrepreneur, as well as continue to spread awareness through her modeling.

When given the opportunity she rises to the occasion and delivers with a “can do” attitude and a grand smile!
