Hey there, I'm Alex Bass, a Medical Social Worker at St. Charles Medical Center. My journey with Catwalk began through a longstanding friendship with Joy, spanning almost 15 years. Having been involved with Choose Joy for some time and attending last year's event, I was surprised and excited when asked to participate! Saying yes was an easy decision for me, fueled by my deep admiration for Choose Joy's mission and Joy's remarkable accomplishments.

As a Medical Social Worker, I find immense fulfillment in empowering individuals to better their lives, serving as a patient advocate and providing essential resources to navigate life's toughest challenges. Beyond work, I cherish spending time with loved ones and indulging in crafting, crocheting, painting, and enjoying Central Oregon summers with live music and river floats.

Committed to making a difference, I've pledged to raise at least $2,500 for the Choose Joy Foundation as a Catwalk for a Cause model, aiming to secure the coveted Top Role Model Award. Let's spread joy and empowerment together!
