Personal Interests:

Alex enjoys having ‘me’ days that can include hanging with friends and family, going shopping, lounging on the couch watching Disney+, or hanging out with her partner and two cats, Olive and Tilly. Taking time to balance work and life is important and sometime all it takes is a good cup of tea and a relaxing day at home.
