Hello! I’m Alexandra (she/her), a social work professional dedicated to advancing equity, accessibility, and systemic change for children, youth, and families.

I hold degrees in Women’s Studies, Communications, and a Master of Social Work, with a focus on leadership, policy, and program evaluation. My career spans community and government sectors, with experience in child welfare, disability inclusion, youth justice, and newcomer integration.

I’m a proud former SPECTRUM Fellow, an experience that strengthened my appreciation for collaborative, cross-sector research and data-informed advocacy. I currently serve as the Systemic Advocacy Specialist at the Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth, where I work to improve programs and policies that affect young people across the province.

My research interests include anti-oppressive practice, collaborative service design, and evidence-informed policy development. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, exploring nature, and caring for my pets.
