Alesia is an ambitious ball of fire. She may be from the Annapolis Valley, but she has found a way to make her country roots work for her in the city too. She can be described as a high stress bottle-rocket in a little package, but she makes up for her tiny stature with her enormous personality. Alesia is a second-year Dalhousie student who started out in environmental science but quickly fell in love with journalism. She will officially be starting her first year of journalism at King’s next year. She enjoys writing for the News and Opinion sections in the Dalhousie Gazette, but never starts a story or interview without a trusty cup of herbal tea at hand. Her biggest fear in life is being average and she settles for nothing less than the best.
