Alexis learned about medical physics through an elective physics course during her undergraduate studies. She was able to attend a trip to the Gibbs Cancer Center and Research Institute in Spartanburg, South Carolina, where she learned much about the field of medical physics. After shadowing a group of diagnostic and therapeutic medical physicists for a month after graduating, Alexis was certain it was the career path she wanted to pursue.
