Alexis P.

Student Traveler
School: Spelman College Hometown: St. Petersburg, Florida

Alexis Peterson is a native of St. Petersburg, FL. She is currently a junior Health Science major at Spelman College in Atlanta, GA. On campus and in her surrounding community, Alexis is very involved with serviing and advocating on behalf of disadvantaged minorities. She is apart of numerous organizaitons and programs which promote health/financial literacy, search for ways to impact social determinants of health, providing mentorship for youth students, especially young girls. Alexis is passionate about teaching others and giving back. Her hobbies inclued traveling, horseback riding, and trying new things (she's an uprising foodie!) Recently, Alexis has made it her mission to follow her dreams of exploring the world. She journeyed on her first real study abroad trip in May of 2018 to Budapest, Hungary. That experieince was extremely humbling and spearheaded the excitement for a longer trip in the Fall of 2018 to multiple countries through the CIEE Open Campus Program. As a  Global Scholars Grant recipient, she plans to take full advantage of all opportunities offered while abroad, with hopes to adventure in unique perspectives through volunteerism and aid. After completing her semester abroad, Alexis plans to use the lessons and expereinces she's had to sculpt her future career endeavors as a pediatric anesthesiologist and international public health advocate.
