Alexandra graduated from the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University, with a minor in Real Estate and a concentration in Finance, Accounting, and Real Estate. During her freshman year at Cornell, Alexandra co-authored a paper on best practices in sustainable hospitality with Professor Rohit Verma. Through her involvement in the Institute for Healthy Futures at Cornell University, Alexandra gained an interest in healthcare and the role hospitality plays in patient outcomes and satisfaction. She pursued this interest and subsequently became a teaching assistant for the first CIHF seminar as well as the co-president of the first student club to integrate hospitality, health, and design.  Alexandra enjoyed reading, exploring Ithaca gorges, and running around Beebe Lake.
