Alexandra was born and raised on the Cornish side of the Tamar Valley.  She graduated from Durham University with her Law Degree LLB (Honours) in 2000, followed by completion of the Legal Practice Course at Exeter School of Law a year later, then returning to the Tamar Valley to qualify as a Solicitor after her two year Training Contract in Tavistock. 

Alexandra went on to establish her own firm in Tavistock 18 months later, which operated for ten years, before being acquired as a satellite branch of a large Plymouth firm, after which she continued to practice for them as a Consultant for two years before starting her family.

Following a career break to raise her children and care for her late father, Alexandra returned to practice for Earl and Crocker in February 2025 in the Liskeard office in the Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Probate and Conveyancing departments.

Alexandra lives in the Tamar Valley with her husband and children.  Her interests include walking and cycling coastal holidays with her family, yoga, swimming, reading, films, theatre and music festivals.
