A native Kansas Citian, Alex Long graduated from DePaul University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in peace and conflict studies. She began her development career interning for the Children’s Center of the Visually Impaired and Big Brother’s Big Sisters of Greater Kansas City before working for Union Station.

She is thrilled to join the Youth Symphony of Kansas City team in their mission of educating and inspiring future musicians who call Kansas City home. When not working, Alex is happy spending her days cuddling with her sweet snaggle-toothed pup, Finnegan.
