My name is Alex Berman, and I was born and raised in Manhattan. I’m a member of the class of 2023 at the High School of American Studies at Lehman College in the Bronx, where I am on the track, cross country, and mock trial teams. When I’m not running in Van Cortlandt Park or practicing getting cross-examined, I love to write. I regularly participate in creative writing workshops and writers’ retreats through Writopia Lab, and also act as a teen intern, teaching young writers and hopefully nurturing in them the same love of writing I have. One of my personal goals for the coming year is to dedicate more time to the fantasy historical novel I am writing. My other hobbies include drawing and painting, reading anything I can get my hands on, and playing Dungeons and Dragons.
