About
I graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in Sociology and a B.A. in Anthropology. Both majors have strengthened my writing and taught me to analyze data efficiently. I attended Berkeley City College (BCC), obtaining an A.A. in Liberal Arts: Social and Behavioral Sciences, A.A-T in Sociology, and an A.A-T in Psychology.
I am very interested in research and have multiple publications. I was a Research Assistant at the Heart Equity & Access Research Treatment (HEART) Lab. I am a Senior Research Associate and Director of Public Relations at The National Library of Patient Rights and Advocacy. In addition, I am an Intern at Well Suited and a Substitute Teacher. I am a Youth Mental Health Academy Mentor through the Child Mind Institute. Also, I am a tutor for Tutor Ocean. Additionally, I have experience in sales, management, and ABA therapy.

Reviews
Best Tutor Ever
Alexandra has greatly helped me through so much. When I needed help on writing my language arts essays, she provided me with so much knowledge. I started to get A’s on my papers with her help and I have retained so much knowledge from her. She provided empathy, warmth, and care during our meetings and she is also very understanding of any situation. She also knows a lot about college admissions and essays especially with her background coming from UCLA as a Sociology and Anthropology major. She is also really knowledgeable in psychology as she got her A.A. degree in it. I HIGHLY recommend Alexandra as your tutor- she is the best it gets!
