Personally

When Alexandra isn’t working, she can be found tackling a new do-it-yourself project or exploring the beautiful Lower Hudson Valley, where she resides. She also enjoys cooking family recipes, horseback riding, and playing tennis. She is a devoted music lover and has been playing piano since the age of 5, which gives her an outlet for her own musical expression.

Purpose

When I was in college, my father passed away, and I experienced how life can change overnight. I watched my mother take on financial responsibilities without feeling confident in her decisions. Over time, I saw her become financially empowered as she took control of her situation and began to achieve financial peace of mind. This experience inspired me to help women navigate life transitions and to be a sounding board for them during those difficult times.
