Alexis Jenkins definitely is very active from the start. Sports have always been her passion; growing up, you could always catch her outside at the softball field playing with her high school, tournament team, or family. This all was until she had an almost career-ending injury occur not just once but twice. Luckily, she could continue to play two years of college softball, but she always wondered why tearing your ACL, also known as your Anterior Cruciate Ligament, was such a big deal. Now years later, she is a Senior here at Millersville studying Sports Journalism. After graduation, she plans to work her way into the ESPN world to eventually become an ESPN Broadcast Journalist.

She also holds a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Millersville and is interested in furthering her research experience to later pursue her Ph.D. Channel has worked in the field of social work for over six years in the areas of mental health, housing, and community integration. During the first-year internship in her master’s program, she became interested in how organizations help their employees deal with stress and burnout. This interest led her to carry out a qualitative research study during the second semester of her field placement with a focus on how her placement site was helping staff deal with stress and burnout. During her interviews, she was able to gain more insight into what employees felt were important and how they handled stress. She plans to continue doing research and use it to impact public policy and social change.
