About Alexandra Wilcox

 Alexandra “Allie” Wilcox is the golden girl of Golden Valley, Minnesota, and her personality really shines when she gets to share her talents with a crowd. In addition to public speaking through pageantry she has loved using her voice to teach others about her Chinese heritage and the cultural importance of Chinese New Year. Of course, using her voice is helped by the fact that she is fluent in two languages—English and Chinese—and she’s getting pretty good in Spanish too, which she studies in school. Allie has always loved giving musical performances, from church choir when she was younger to piano performances in recitals and in her chapel at school. Her love of music also plays a key role in her Latin dance and figure skating performances, and she has won multiple first place awards in both types of competitions, with grace and flair that definitely gets notices by the judges. Golden girl Allie is also a gold medal winner in chess, where her opponents quickly learn to fear this pageant queen’s gambits. Allie’s love of performances and competitions is matched by her love of reading. Ever since she stunned her parents by suddenly reading restaurant menus to them at three years old, she has been a voracious reader. Whether it’s C.S. Lewis, the encyclopedia, dragon stories, adventure stories, fantasy books, joke books, the Bible, or even economics books, Allie dives in to them, is engrossed by them, and goes through them in record speed. There’s a reason her teacher has referred to Allie as “the class Google”; she reads about everything, and when she reads about something she retains it. She even became a #1 bestselling author on Amazon after she co-authored and published a book called Road To The Crown. In connection with her love of books, Allie is currently developing a cultural literacy program called Allie’s Books for Cultures (“ABC”), with the hopes of raising kids’ awareness of cultural diversity while promoting reading and literacy. Allie excels in every subject at school and loves learning; she would go to school seven days a week if they would let her. Allie loves to travel, and has had a great time visiting the lands of her ancestors (China, Iceland, and Canada) and on trips across the United States. Allie enjoys modelling and acting, and hopes to do more of both in the future, and in the long term wants to be a nature photographer who blogs cultures of places she visits.
