Biography
Lexi is a Florida born and raised actress with a lifetime's experience as a performer. At the age of three, she got her start on the stage as a Ballet dancer, eventually moving on to Jazz, which she would do for fourteen years. Her parents noticed a knack for singing in Lexi, and thus she began training in the church choir at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in Hudson, FL at the age of five. In high school, she started classical voice training privately with Ariana Montecara Eventually, her training in music and dance turned into a passion for musical theater throughout middle, high school, and college, giving way to a career in film acting. She acquired her Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing from Florida State University in 2013, while spending much of her spare time volunteering in the community, and performing in plays with two student-run organizations, Leave Your Mark Productions and Florida State University's Student Theater Association. She has played Clea in Peter Schaffer's farce, "Black Comedy," sang and danced her heart out as a Phantom in "The Rocky Horror Show," and faced death as Hunyak in "Chicago." It wasn't until her time at FSU that she fell in love with film, getting her first taste on camera with The Florida State University Film School. Since then, film and television acting has become her main career focus. After college, Lexi moved to Tampa, FL to pursue her career and in 2015, began training with Andi Matheny Acting Studios in St. Petersburg, FL. There she has acquired a well-rounded education with focus on scene study, character development, and improvisation. Lexi has also helped establish Bouncy Boxer Media, LLC., a female owned and mostly-female operated independent film production company with writer and producer Stefanie Davis, and fellow actress Chelsea Wolf. Lexi has written, directed, and starred in several short films and webisodes with Bouncy Boxer Media and the trio have become an active advocate for women in film and television in the Florida community.
