Mini bio
How it started.
An astronomy class in her first year at Vanderbilt opened up a new interest. More classes led to a NASA internship as a technical writer, then communications work with its GPS team. She later worked with the U.S. Space Force and moved into content creation full time in November 2022.
Finding her audience.
She began posting about space during the pandemic. According to her speaker biography, Astro Alexandra reached more than a million followers within a year. Her videos bring space discoveries and missions to people who may be encountering astronomy for the first time.
What fans follow.
Her work moves between short explainers, longer videos, astronaut interviews and television appearances. Recent projects include a cautious look at possible signs of ancient life on Mars and coverage of a Moon mission with The Weather Channel.
