Alexandra moved from the United States in 2000 and received her doctorate in violin from the Louisiana State University in 2007. She joined the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra in 2006, and in 2008, prompted by the economic crisis, she decided to pursue a career in nursing.

Alexandra’s passion for health, martial arts, fitness, and financial independence, as well as her experience with the challenges of cultural integration inspired her to write the book, It Really Is Simple: A Holistic Approach to Self-Confidence – A Practical Guide, in which she shares her journey to success with the intention to inspire many others to embrace change and pursue their dreams, in spite of fear and insecurity.
