Advocating and raising awareness for different social causes to help the disadvantaged in the local community, Alexandra donates her own time, money, and resources to charities like Families4Families who assist those suffering from an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI).  Showcasing her commitment to Families4Families, Alexandra also created a short film series interviewing survivors and family members about their experiences. The film is used by Families4Families to educate and inform others about ABI and support the families of those impacted.
