ALEX Hecker has plans to be an archaeologist one day – or maybe a museum curator.
Anthropology and ancient history fascinate her and, with a degree already behind her in these disciplines, she’s about throw herself into a masters of cultural heritage at Deakin University next year.
But Alex’s Tomb Raider ambitions might have to wait a little to be realised.
There’s the small matter of the Miss Universe Australia pageant looming large first of all. Not to mention a hectic schedule of fashion and promotion work as a racing industry ambassador, modelling, TV presenting – oh, and a job she holds down as well.
Alex’s feet have barely touched the ground since the Spring Racing Carnival when she was a finalist in Melbourne Cup Fashions of the Field and a judge of cup-meet fashions for Geelong, Ballarat, Ballan and Werribee as well as a host of luncheons, girls-on-track events and more.
“I’ve haven’t really had a break since,” she says.
