Things are looking up for 2007 Community School graduate Alexandra Dallago, 23. She has become an assistant producer of network television news in the San Francisco Bay Area.

After graduation, Dallago attended Santa Clara University in the Silicon Valley. Her junior semester abroad was spent studying at the famed Sorbonne in Paris.

She graduated from Santa Clara a semester early in December 2010, with honors and a double major in French studies and communications and a minor in international relations.

Dallago decided to stay in the area to pursue her passion for video and film production. She landed a post-graduate internship with the NBC Bay Area news team. Her drive and ambition led her to be honored as the 2011 Bay Area STAR Outstanding Intern. The award will be presented at a San Francisco City Club luncheon in late January.

Her outstanding work led to an employment contract as an assistant producer with the NBC Bay Area news team. Her parents, Gene Dallago of Denver and Marina Dallago of Hailey, said they are very proud of her accomplishments, as did her stepfather, David Gertz of Hailey, and her brother, 2008 Community School graduate Christian Dallago.
