“I believe in the importance of education and pride myself in striving to continue to learn. I look forward to holding a seat on the Okanagan College Board of Governors and continuing to make a difference in the field of education,” says Alexander.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Indigenous Studies from UBC Okanagan and has also completed certificates in Indigenous Leadership, Governance, and Management Excellence.
