Lady Juicy
When she's not taking orders at the Shanty Window, Alexa can be found in her bee yard.
"The most important living thing on this entire planet is the size of your smallest fingernail, and it is up to us to keep them alive!" she says. Alexa is proud to play a role in the conservation and continuation of the honeybee population here in Durango.
Previously Alexa worked in the Theatre, Film and Television industries in New York City, hanging lights for Lincoln Center and running around some of the most insane television sets to date! This is where she was introduced to her partner, Christopher Turner. The two met on the set of Fast and Furious 8 in 2016, and have worked together ever since.
