Alexis is a (very) short junior, who is very pleased to be writing for Chips Online with all her friends. Along with writing, her other hobbies are playing soccer, reading about Mount Everest and listening to any Irish music. Her favorite movie is The Princess Bride, with Whale Rider coming in for a close second choice. Warning: if you start a conversation about Mount Everest with her, it will NEVER end.
