A Southern California native, Alexandra was the child of a famed musical director at a Los Angeles Opera House. According to her IMDb, it was there that she was exposed to the theatre, encountering legends like Yul Brynner and Carol Burnett.

In the early '80s, Alexandra moved to Chicago and began participating in the pageant circuit. Her knack for performing led to her winning beauty pageants all over the Midwest and Florida. Throughout the '90s, she began performing in plays, and by the 2000s, she had a successful stage career.

In a sweet Instagram post, Alexandra congratulated her classmates. She captioned the post saying, "Every day with these humans was a joyful and hilarious experience. Kind. Compassionate. And gloriously easy."

"Lead by the heart of @maitreyiramakrishnan I never felt like I was working."

She continued, commending Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. "It never felt difficult or hesitant or as if there were consequences. I felt part of the story. I felt seen and heard and I never felt apart from anyone. As a marginalized artist, that’s not always true. But here, who I was, was embraced. My history was lifted up and held and celebrated and I couldn’t wait to get back to these humans every single year."

All four seasons of Never Have I Ever are now available to stream on Netflix.
