Since January 2021, Alexys has been a part of the Qualitative Team at HCFY, while more recently joining the Assessment Staff as well. When looking for undergraduate research assistant positions, HCY drew her attention due to their focus on how youth violence can affect a child's psychosocial and emotional development. In December 2021, she graduated with two degrees from Virginia Commonwealth University; a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology and a Bachelor's of Arts in Music. Her future goals include pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, while learning more about different factors that affect a child's socioemotional and cognitive development.
