Hello gorgeous person!

Thank you so much for clicking on my page!

     My name is Alexis Smith. I am a Journalism student with a concentration in Mass Media Production. I’m a Junior in college from Raleigh, North Carolina. I am also the first generation child (20 years old). I have been given the BEST opportunity of my life to go Study Abroad in Melbourne, Australia for the semester of Spring 2019 (5 months)! I will be attending La Trobe University for the semester.

     When I mention I am the first generation child, I will not have the chance to go back home to live because there is nothing for me back home, i.e. Jobs or finance. I am not able to pay for all of this trip because I am paying out of pocket for this trip and I have scholarships but that still isn’t enough. I am an A/B student and I would really like your help to experience something that no one in my family has done.

     My goal is to go to Australia and learn more about the culture and history. Journalism gives me a chance to show my skills in writing, video production, communications. I have a creative mindset and an awesome personality, so I want to express myself in my work. My dream is to be an Anchor on the Today Show. I would like to be the next Hoda Kotb from the Today Show.

     ***Every cent that is donated will go towards funding this trip and supporting me financially while I will be creating this awesome opportunity in Australia. Any amount helps! I really do appreciate you for helping me!***
