Alexandra is lucky enough to hail from sunny San Diego and after adventures in Colorado, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, is grateful to have found her way back to the West Coast and the PNW. She graduated from Colorado College with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and minor in Psychoanalysis and is now currently pursuing a Master's of Social Work at the University of Washington.

Her professional career has centered around work centering college students, working in higher education as well as in advising, mentorship, and affinity spaces for BIPOC, FGLI, and disabled students. As a social worker, her focus on radical inclusion and equity remains at the forefront of her vision for community at SPU.

When not working, Alexandra loves to travel (5/7 continents visited!), try and make friends with every cat she comes across, and express her love language through cooking for her loved ones.
