Born in Potchefstroom and raised in Kroonstad, Alejandra studied Business Management and Entrepreneurship at North-West University (NWU), later completing her honours degree in both Business Management and Marketing.
In 2019, while pursuing her master’s degree, she lectured first-year Business Management to over 1,000 students at NWU in both English and Afrikaans. It was during this time that her love for learning and teaching truly blossomed, leading her to complete a Postgraduate Certificate in Education and transition into school-based education.
She began her teaching career in 2021, where she taught her first matric class. Since then, she has continued to grow as an educator, committed to helping learners understand the world of business in meaningful and engaging ways.
Beyond her academic background, she has a deep love for art, history, and all things weird and kooky.
She is passionate about inspiring young minds to love learning and to see education as a journey of exploration and self-discovery. One of her favourite quotes by Vincent van Gogh beautifully captures her teaching philosophy: “It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.”
