Netanel Alexander

Treasurer

I’m currently serving as the treasurer for the University Honors Program. I’m a biology major on the pre-med track, and I chose Northeastern because of its convenient location and affordable tuition. Once I got here, I realized I had made the right choice—having great professors and small class sizes has really made a difference for me. Joining the Honors Program has also been one of the best decisions I’ve made. It has helped me financially and given me the chance to connect with other motivated students.

Outside of school, I’m married to my amazing wife, and we’re raising two kids a three-year-old son and a four-month-old daughter. A fun fact is that my son keeps telling me he wants to go to the hospital and be a doctor with me. its funny because it’ll still be a while before I actually become a physician.
