Hey everyone! My name is Alexa Liptak, and I am a second-year communications and journalism student at Thompson Rivers University (TRU). I aspire to build a career with my degree in sports broadcasting or journalism, to combine my love of athletics with storytelling. 

I am originally from Surrey, BC but I moved to Kamloops for school in 2023. So, unfortunately, I have only ever experienced cold winters and not the beautiful summers this city is known to have.

I currently work with the Kamloops Blazers, as well as a new women-run sports media company called “Girls at the Games”.  I’ve also written a few articles for TRU’s newspaper, The Omega, which has been an exciting opportunity to develop my journalism skills.

besides work and school, many of my hobbies include the outdoors and staying active. Being from the coast, I have always loved to hike and be outdoors, especially on trails with stunning ocean views. I’m also a big sports fan, so I absolutely love going to games with my friends, especially when we get to cheer on my Canucks.
