Alexandra Bechtel

1. Are you more afraid of the doctor or dentist?
The first thing I notice about a person is the way that they carry themselves. Just by the way they walk, you can always tell how confident a person is feeling.

2. If you could have a lifetime supply of anything what would it be?
After earning my master's of business administration degree, I plan to continue growing my leadership skills as a nonprofit president. These skills will allow me the capacity to encourage others with learning disorders and spread our mission globally.

3. What’s the worst date you’ve been on?
First, I would pay off my student loans and any debts that my family owe. As a recent business graduate and former intern at the largest trust and asset protection company in the Midwest, I know just how important financial security is. As such, I try my best to be careful with where my money is being allocated. After that, I would likely make several donations to nonprofit organizations for the betterment of many communities.

4. If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
I like to think that every item has some meaning attached to it. For example, while volunteering at a camp for kids with muscular dystrophy, I purchased a T-shirt from the camp store. I have a lot of T-shirts, and I am certainly not in need of a new one. Although it has not been the most useful item, it remains a valuable piece of clothing because of the memories attached to it.

5. Is there anything about you that people are surprised to learn?
I would make a pot of coffee and enjoy some quality time with my family around the fireplace while we play board games and laugh for hours on end. Family is essential to me because we always support each other. They are also the only people willing to drink coffee all day with me.
