Alexandra holds an MA in Linguistics and an MSc in Public Policy, both from the University of Edinburgh. A keen volunteer, she is passionate about contributing to positive change and actively seeks opportunities to do so. While at university, Alexandra volunteered for two Young Scot panels related to Technology Enabled Care and alcohol policy respectively. These were defining roles, as she realised that she is happiest when helping others and doing some good in the world. Alexandra believes that kindness should be the guiding light of policymaking.
