Miss Manatee
As the reigning Miss Manatee, Alexandra has dynamically utilized her local title to amplify the reach and mission of the Miss Florida Organization while pouring her heart into community advancement. Drawing from fifteen years of personal dedication to the program—advancing from the Sunshine Princess program to competing as a teen and a miss candidate—her service is deeply intertwined with the organization’s historic legacy.
Alex has seamlessly integrated her brain injury advocacy with her local titleholder duties, working to expand critical resource distribution and supportive care networks across the region. Leveraging her title to drive both state and federal policy conversations, Alexandra has actively lobbied legislators at the Florida State Capitol and on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C., successfully bridging the gaps between local community service and large-scale legislative action on brain injury recovery.
