Alexa Birbara, a field hockey lover and Taylor Swift enthusiast enters Journalism with a plan to spotlight girls’ sports here at Hall. 

Q: Who are your favorite teachers?
A: Mrs. Gangi from freshman year and Dr. Boucher. They are both great teachers and make their classes fun. I also loved Mrs. Lanese; I can always talk to her.

Q: What do you want to do after high school?

A: That’s a tough question. There’s a lot of possibilities. I am definitely going to a four year college and I want to stay close. I’m not sure what I’m going to go into. I’m thinking about business because that’s what my dad does. But I’m not a numbers person, so I might do something else.

Q: Who is your greatest influence?

A: I really look up to my sister. When I was little, I saw her playing field hockey so I played field hockey. 

Q: Why are you taking journalism?

A: I think it is very important for people to share their stories and perspectives: someone has to do it.
