Alex is a multi-passionate who is deeply curious about the world around her, and seeks out the beauty of everyday life. Currently based in Seattle, she has an affinity for meditation, homemade granola, exploring the natural splendor of the PNW, personal growth, and fostering heart-centered connections.

Her work is driven by an enthusiasm for building community. She enjoys brainstorming, asking thought-provoking questions, designing experiences, and is perpetually fascinated by people and what lights them up.

For the past five years, Alex has found great fulfillment serving as the Director of Membership and Partnerships for The Collective Seattle. However, at the time of this recording, she is embarking on a new adventure, taking a deep dive into her passions and shaping a new career path.

In her free time, Alex can be found on a dance floor, cold plunging in the Puget Sound, strolling the local farmers market, or nurturing various creative pursuits that include photography, ceramics, floral arranging, and singing.

She'd welcome an opportunity to connect/co-create/collaborate on something fun and meaningful! Find her on Instagram or LinkedIn.
