Alexis Burrow was born in Kansas City, Missouri and grew up an hour away in Concordia, Missouri. She attended St. Paul's Lutheran Grade School for preschool through 8th grade and followed by Saint Paul Lutheran High School, the only residential high school in the LCMS. Ms. Burrow graduated in 2015 and promptly left one Concordia for another - Concordia University Nebraska that is. While at Concordia, Ms. Burrow stayed busy playing trumpet in the Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, and Bulldog Pep Band. She filled the rest of her time working as a student diplomat for the Admissions Office, a writing tutor in the on-campus tutoring center, an aid at St. John Child Development Center, and a cashier at Walmart. 

Ms. Burrow graduated from Concordia University in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science Education degree in Middle Level Education, a double concentration in Math and Language Arts, and a Lutheran Teaching Diploma. Since graduating, she has enjoyed not working 4 jobs and spends her free time keeping up with her trumpet, watching cop shows, and drinking an unhealthy amount of iced coffee.
