Her Off-Broadway debut was in the summer of 2010 playing the role of "Carol" in "Girl's Night: The Musical".  She started in this role in 2009 both on tour and in Philadelphia's premier performance space, the Kimmel Center.  In the broadwayworld.com review, she was recognized for her "power house" voice.

On the days that she is not performing on stage or in the studio Alexandra spends her time working with children on acting skills as an artist in resident at a local school.
