Hi! I’m Alexandra, a community advocate, social entrepreneur, education leader, and mom in District 69.

My path has been shaped by an excellent education, and I’m running for school board to help ensure my child and all children in District 69 continue to have access to meaningful learning opportunities to grow and reach their full potential.

Make Every Family’s Voice Count

Ensure families have a meaningful voice in decisions that affect their children through clear, consistent communication between families and the district.

My vision for District 69 centers on three key priorities:

Accessible Leadership

Strengthen the board’s accessibility and transparency to the community.

Thoughtful, Evidence-Based Technology Use

Commit to using the latest scientific, evidence-based research to guide how technology is used in our schools.

I’m proud to organize with the School Beyond Screens chapter at District 69 where parents have been advocating for an intentional and science-backed approach to classroom technology.
