Bio:
Alexandra assists faculty in public policy, law, and the social sciences. She views her role in Foundation Relations as equal parts educator, networker, editor, and coach, and she uses each of those skills as she works with faculty members on developing proposals for funders. Prior to joining Duke, Alexandra was the Executive Director of a non-profit organization that provided comprehensive services to people living with HIV and AIDS. Outside of the office you'll see Alexandra biking around campus to get to meetings, volunteering as an Academic Advisor for undergraduates, running laps around Duke Forrest with her dog, or at the Duke Hospital volunteering with the Pet Therapy Program.
