Alexa (she/her), who usually goes by Ale, works at St. Thomas University (STU) in Fredericton, New Brunswick, where she coordinates the internship program, organizes fun volunteering activities, and helps students connect with employers across the province. She completed a B.A. with honors in International Relations and a major in Economics in 2021 at STU, and she went on to work at the Multicultural Association of Fredericton as an Employment Coach. She joined STU shortly after, in 2022. Alongside her work at the university, she is currently completing a Graduate Diploma in Post-Secondary Education (International Education) at Memorial University.

Ale is looking forward to welcoming Shad participants on the beautiful STU campus! Ale is passionate about all-things entrepreneurship, and loves to chat with like-minded individuals who have tons of creative ideas. Aside from her official duties at the university, she is also the Faculty Advisor for the Enactus STU students, who have won multiple awards, including the Regional Championship in 2023. Ale’s hobbies include dog-sitting, working out, and baking – which she has successfully used as a venue for learning more about entrepreneurship by participating in local markets to sell her own homemade cookies.
