Constantly striving to better his understanding of the world around us and seeking to cultivate his love of nature, Alex’s academic excellence in his pursuit of the Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at Fordham University was rewarded by graduation with honors (Magna Cum Laude) and recognition by the most prestigious honors society in the United States, Phi Beta Kappa.
