Meet Alexandra

Creative, Imaginative, Loyal

Strengths:

As a former shy kid, I can relate to the unique challenges that introverted students with self-esteem and identity issues may face. I was bullied for most of my preteen and teenage years and also lived with depression and anxiety, all of which impacted me academically, emotionally, and socially. I understand how mental health often intersects with other social factors, including body image, race, and economic class, and am willing to speak from my own lived experience.

Presentation Topics:

Body Image, Anxiety, Depression, Low Self-Esteem, Social Anxiety, Racial Identity, Discrimination, Poverty, Bullying, Acceptance, Destigmatizing Shyness/Introversion
