Before joining DECO, Alexandra practiced law at Kagan Shastri LLP, specializing in land use planning, development, and municipal law. Her legal background and strategic insight have contributed to shaping Ontario’s urban landscape.

In addition, Alexandra served on the Board of Directors for the Ontario Arts Council, where she championed the importance of the creation and production of the arts. She deeply believes in the power of creative placemaking—the integration of art, design, and culture into urban development.  She believes that the arts and public spaces play a critical role in shaping vibrant, inclusive communities.

Alexandra also recognizes the vital role hospitals plays in complete communities by providing essential healthcare services that are key to a City’s well-being. As a member of the Hospital Foundation Board, she is committed to advancing healthcare access and supporting hospitals as anchors of healthy, thriving communities.
