About
Hi, I'm Alexa.
I'm Alexa, an Environmental Communication graduate, outdoor enthusiast, and the person behind The Outdoorsy Latina. After starting a new job in Yosemite National Park and spending more time exploring the outdoors, I wanted a place to bring together the things I'm most passionate about: nature, adventure, storytelling, photography, and environmental education. This site is part personal journal, part creative portfolio, and part space to keep learning.
