Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
I’m Alexandra,
A neuroscientist, graphic designer, artist, full-time caregiver and advocate for Alzheimer’s Disease, and dog mom to a Saint Bernard and a Chihuahua who I refer to as “the twins” (you know, like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito).
My passion for life-long learning fuels my desire to explore ways to cultivate connection and curiosity through both science and art. I am able to blend my technical expertise and design acumen to communicate science in an approachable way.
Most of my personal work stems from my dedication to my mother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease 7 years ago. I focus on themes of ambiguous loss, the art of caregiving, and the importance of connection.
My biomedical science expertise spans the translational research pipeline. Training in bench science, clinical research, and regulatory affairs lends a unique and well-rounded perspective of the research life cycle including experimental design, grant writing and manuscript preparation, clinical trial management, and post-market assessment. My strengths encompass intentional knowledge dissemination, integrating science communication and graphic design to translate complex topics into accessible and actionable information through written and visual media.
