Alexandra is currently working with a partner organization to implement their renewed early learning strategy to improve outcomes for young children across the United States.

Prior to joining Delivery Associates, Alexandra was the assistant director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Brookings.

In this role, she stewarded multi-stakeholder “SWAT teams of action.” The teams’ work ranged from advancing a global fund to eradicate extreme poverty through cash transfers to supporting cities to tackle care and climate crises simultaneously.

She also has experience researching gender equality in Central Asia with the World Bank.
