One of the things we repeatedly notice about our best students is that we can do little to help them besides being enthusiastic while they exceed our expectations, while we have enormous opportunities to hurt them. I don't think this is unique to university teaching, except that universities provide a rich environment almost by default.
Keep on turning Alex loose and letting her choose her own enthusiasms in a rich environment. She'll be just fine...
