A native of Los Angeles with Bulgarian roots, Alexandra’s goal as an outreach coordinator is to promote interest in study abroad by expanding SRAS’ reach to university faculty and students. She attended two SRAS programs (in Georgia and Uzbekistan) and wrote several travel articles for the SRAS Family of Sites. After completing her BS in Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2023, Alexandra spent 9 months backpacking in the Caucasus, Europe, and North Africa to expand her knowledge of countries and cultures. She has since been based near family in Sofia, Bulgaria. Alexandra’s hobbies include trekking and exploring historical sites.
