Her work has been showcased in museums and festivals globally, featured in Vogue, Elle, i-D, and IndieWire.

Her narrative film "The First of The Free Girls" won Best Narrative Short, Jury Selection, and Best Cinematography. She and her co-director were nominated for Best New Artist at the Berlin Fashion Film Festival.

Alexandra is committed to affordable, non-hierarchical art education and serves on the Advisory Committee at the School of the Alternative in North Carolina, where she leads an experimental film workshop. Her goal is to create art that mirrors experiences, helping others believe in magic and connect with their emotions and inner minds.
