Dr. Alex Schneider was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. During his senior year of high school, Hurricane Katrina inundated the city destroying the school. Inspired to help his hometown rebuild, he remained in New Orleans and attended Tulane University – volunteering throughout that time to educate adults learning English as a second language and documenting the dying Louisiana Regional French Language. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science with honors in Linguistics and French in 2010. He remained at Tulane to study Neuroscience, an interest which grew from his studies regarding the brain and language. He graduated with a Master of Science in 2011.
