She is the owner of two local businesses Lessons by Lexe: Dance Studio at Prescott Gateway Mall for 7 years and Quest Character Parties for 6 years. She also serves as a board member for a local non-profit theatre company; One Stage Family Theatre.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lexe just wrapped up her third year as the NAZ WRANGLERS IFL Pro-Dance Team Coach and is the current Miss Saguaro 2023 within the Miss America Organization and received 4th Runner Up at Miss Arizona.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her goal is to ensure that as our youth develop they have access to the world of arts, because while growing up the arts was always her outlet. She started an all-inclusive dance studio at the age of 19 years old, working and going to college full time. She earned her Bachelors of Science in Applied Human Behavior and holds certificates in Community Development &amp; Sustainability, Dance Medicine, Entrepreneurship, and Service Industry Management. Her dance studio provides scholarships for young dancers which is something she holds very close to her heart. With the courage of a lion she gives so much of herself to her community and encourages all to apply themselves in the arts world to keep confidence instilled in all generations to come. Arts is a universal language; it&#8217;s important for us to come together to self-express and make this world a better place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meet Alexes
