Alexandra joined the Young Professionals Board because she believes deeply in the power of rescue—not just for the animals, but for the people whose lives they transform. With a background in healthcare marketing, communications, and education—and a lifelong love of animals—she’s excited to bring her skills to a mission that truly matters. Whether it’s spreading the word about Ruff Start’s work, pitching in at events, or supporting the team behind the scenes, Alexandra is all in on giving second chances. She lives in Minneapolis with her partner and their rambunctious (but lovable) red heeler, Yonah.
