As an Assistant Professor of Dance in the Department of Theatre at Michigan State University, Alexandria believes that working at the intersection of artistic practice and intercultural performance theory fosters innovative and impactful experiences. These experiences contribute to the holistic development of individuals, enhancing their psychosomatic awareness and helping them understand their socialization habits.

Alexandria is passionate about community-engaged performance as research, an approach that utilizes community arts practice and artistic performance as methodologies for researching and socializing the impact of the arts on social outcomes and wellness. She aims to partner with community members as co-creators of experiences that inform the development and socialization of new works and wellness practices. Alexandria believes these practices encourage audiences to view themselves as part of the solutions to real-world problems through creative arts practices that promote intrapersonal communication.
