Prior to leading PIC, she discovered her passion for education while supporting internal strategy and college access initiatives at Educate Texas, at the Communities Foundation of Texas. She began her career in the private sector, as a financial analyst in the energy sector and then as a management consultant with Boston Consulting Group in Dallas. She received her Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Princeton University and her MBA from Columbia University.  Alejandra currently serves as Board Chair for Education is Freedom and previously served on the board of the Woodrow Wilson High School Community Foundation.  Originally from southern California, Alejandra and her husband have happily made roots in Dallas, where they spend most of their free time driving and carpooling their four children around town.  When they aren’t hustling between kid’s activities, you can find them running around White Rock Lake.
