Alexandra Dee
Work-Study

Alexandra has been working in the Office of Study Abroad since Fall 2007 and enjoys being able to help other students that are planning to see the world! She is a Kiwi, born and raised in New Zealand, but has been living here in her second home of Logan for the last couple of years so she could be closer to her American extended family. Alexandra is a sophomore, majoring in International Studies and plans to use her degree towards working for global non-profit organizations, which will hopefully allow her to experience even more of the world's cultures.

She is also a big fan of Logan's mountains and snow! She loves any sort of winter sport...ice skating, snowmobiling, sledding and wants to start snowboarding regularly. Also, she is excited for her own study abroad experience, which will fulfill her long-time dream of going to Italy.
