Alexandra Faye Pieters was born June 6, 1992. Known
as Alex by her peers, she is from a small town located in southern Maryland
called Lusby. She graduated from Patuxent High School in 2010 and came to
Frostburg State with a scholarship to major in music. Coming into Frostburg, as
a talented singer, Alex was involved in Choral, Chamber Workshop, and the Opera
Workshop. She decided to change her major to Mass Communication with a minor in
Public Relations due to personal reasons. With her major, she would like to get
into Public Relations saying, “I just want to talk to people.” She is now in
her junior year in college with a new focus and a new passion. She has also got
herself involved in new groups. Alex is a proud member of Delta Zeta, and even
lives with one of her sorority sisters off campus.
But there is even more to Alex than meets the eye.
Growing up in Calvert County, she was only five minutes from Solomons Island. To find more information about the scenic Solomons Island, visit http://www.solomonsmaryland.com/. She has been a certified scuba diver for eight
years and it is one of her favorite activities. When asked her about how she got into scuba
diving, she said “The age for scuba diving classes is 13, but my dad convinced
the instructor to let me do it a year early.” Alex went on to say, “My whole family
is scuba diving certified.” The toughest thing about learning how to scuba dive
at a young age is taking the respirator off and putting it back on underwater.
Her love of traveling fits in well with scuba diving. Her family has been to
Hawai’i, Japan, and Mexico. In fact, Alex and her family
had lived in Japan for two years in a town called Misawa. “I loved it, but I
threw a fit because I missed my friends.” Being in only the seventh or eighth
grade, one can only image how Alex felt being in a different country for such a
long time.
