She also took part in various school plays, including “Still Standing” and “7th Heaven”.
Alex’s parents were strict with their daughters, and placed a limit on their daily television time. However, watching Brooke Burke host “Wild” on E! inspired her to become a TV presenter.

Her drive doesn’t emanate from a lack of esteem or need for attention; she genuinely loves to get to know people, and tell their stories.’
Alex accepted a role as a production assistant on the late-night show “Last Call With Carson Daly” in 2010, and within two years post-graduation, Curry had also worked as a talent manager for ESPN’s “X Games”, and a host on “E! News Now” and “Fuel TV Download”.
