Alexandra started doing movies in Highschool, when she was 16. Alexandra became passionate about science fiction films since she was a student in the 5th grade in Pitesti, her hometown, being introduced by her father to the world of the famous "Star Wars" series. Gradually, Alexandra's passion for movies, special effects, and animation took shape. In the 9th grade, when she was a student at the "Dinu Lipatti" Art High School in Pitesti, she realized that she really likes the world of film. Alexandra constantly worked with talent and passion on her dream. Alexandra's statement: When we have a dream, we must make choices that are true to ourselves, even if they come with risks and those around us don’t understand. In a society where status and dominance revolve around money, soulful happiness lies at the core of our well-being, while money is merely a material possession, fleeting and impermanent. We have all experienced moments when we felt the need to rebel, just to show who we are and what we were created for.
