Alexandria entered the foster care system at a young age due to early adverse experiences. Throughout her time in foster care Alexandria moved between homes and groups several times, but throughout it all, she was able to find a forever home. In finding her forever home, she was able to transition out of care and become an advocate for change - helping to spark change in the foster care system. She went on to obtain her high school diploma, bachelor’s and then master’s degree. Alexandria’s goal is to continue to advocate for those in foster care with the hope of establishing a center where foster youth would have access to tutoring, mentoring and assistance for future college admissions. Not only does she advocate for change through the foster care system but also change within other communities that have faced injustice. Some of Alexandria's hobbies include reading, cooking, traveling, educating herself on new topics and spending time with her family. What makes Alexandria herself is the ability to learn, grow, develop and give back to her community. She believes in investing time and knowledge into the younger generation.

You will be in my prayers for better days but also for the resilience to go through this time with a smile. We are all cheering you on. Sincerely, Joy "
