My name is Alexa Allaham, I am a Political Science student at UC Irvine. I am born and raised in Cairo, Egypt, and attended the British International School of Cairo from the age of 4 until the day that I graduated. With my degree, I am excited to attend law school after graduation, pass the bar, and work in America as a lawyer and senator.
Coming from a mixed background, I speak 4 languages: Arabic, English, French, Greek. English is by far my favorite.
In my free time, I enjoy going to soul cycle classes, reading books by investigative journalists, and documenting my surroundings for my not-so-private private Snapchat story.
I'm honored to be the HerCampus at UCI Editor in-Chief for the 2025-2026 Academic Year! Working with a remarkable team of women, there's no limit to what we can accomplish.
