I’m so glad you are here.

WELCOME.

I’m Alexandra,

A neuroscientist, graphic designer, artist, full-time caregiver and advocate for Alzheimer’s Disease, and and dog mom to a Saint Bernard, Bruce, who I consider my soul dog.

My career has been defined by a commitment to connection: between disciplines, ideas, and most importantly, people.

My passion for life-long learning fuels my desire to explore ways to cultivate curiosity through both science and art. I bring a unique blend of scientific rigor, creativity, and empathy to transform complex scientific and clinical topics into accessible compelling narratives that improve health literacy.

I look forward to connecting.

As both a scientist and a caregiver who has supported my mother through Alzheimer’s Disease, I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact that sharing a story can have on connection. I am thrilled to share mine and look forward to knowing yours.
