 Alexandra
has been a full-figured model for over a decade and a half.
It has been an honor for her to project through her work
a positive role model for women of all sizes. Using her
career as a vehicle, Alexandra has promoted healing by inviting
people to love themselves regardless of their diversity
from the beauty norm. She is a recognizable face and voice
to the customer due to her involvement in a myriad of aspects
of the industry. This aqua-eyed beauty can be seen on television
in commercials and interviews, the runway, showrooms, in-store
posters and in a plethora of catalogs and magazines domestically
and internationally. She is a contributing writer for Amaze
magazine, a bi-monthly fashion magazine for full-figured
women. Additionally, she has interviewed designers, celebrities
and models for Runwaystyles.TV and appeared as a celebrity
spokesperson and fashion expert on such shows as Ricki Lake
and Montel Williams. Alexandra has helped launch several
fashion lines and acted as a fit and design consultant for
such designers as Tommy Hilfiger and Liz Claiborne.
In
the midst of talk about make-up, hair, and dressing to flatter
your figure, Alexandra realized that she was espousing half-truths.
There is value in those beauty secrets but there is so much
more that the beauty and fashion industries aren’t
addressing. She wants to expose another truth. True beauty
is embodying your spirit. It is about energy. It is about
self-acceptance. She strives to achieve internal wellness
that reflects outward by connecting to her authentic self.
Alexandra shares her path toward self-acceptance in hopes
that others might recognize themselves within her story.
Thus,
part of pioneering the full-figured industry for Alexandra
has been motivational speaking and mentoring “at risk”
youth in the New York school systems with an empowering
message regarding self esteem and self acceptance. She utilizes
her program, A Model’s Recipe for Happiness,
comprised of 10 simple ingredients designed to enhance inner
joy and connect with spirit. Also, she has worked in conjunction
with health clubs in New York on self-esteem and motivational
seminars. It is exciting work that brings together her backgrounds
from psychology, acting, modeling, as well as being an accredited
Reiki Master Teacher and Light Ascension Therapist.
 Alexandra
graduated from the University of Michigan with a psychology
degree. Her extensive field-work experience helped foster
her passion for helping others step into their power and
create a better life. She played an advocacy role in several
programs such as a safe-house for abused women and children,
a suicide prevention hotline, an adolescent psychiatric
hospital, a school for mentally challenged boys, a maximum
security state prison, and an internship underneath a Psychiatrist
in which she counseled her own patients.
In
addition, Alexandra draws upon over ten years experience
on the New York stage, television and film in order to deliver
her message of redefining beauty. She stars in the short
film, Plus, that premiered in New York this past
summer as well as has been involved with several theater
companies.
By
inviting people to own and love themselves, Alexandra chooses
to inspire, encourage, affirm, and celebrate the human spirit
with her message.
