Alexandra graduated from the teaching program (subjects English and French) at the University of Vienna in 2017. She has experience teaching languages in Austria and Sweden, and on secondary and tertiary educational levels. In October 2018, she was awarded a seed grant by the #YouthMediaLife research platform, and in October 2019, she joined the English department as a uni:docs fellow. She spent fall/winter term 2021 as a visiting scholar and faculty member at Michigan State University in East Lansing, USA.

Alexandra started investigating implicit and explicit grammatical knowledge of Swedish learners of English in her diploma thesis, and continues to do so in her PhD, extending the target group to Austrian students. Alongside her interest in implicit-automatized knowledge, she aims to explore the impact that different types of instruction and Extramural English have on learning. She has published her work in Language Teaching Research, and other manuscripts have been pre-accepted by Applied Linguistics, Languages, and Springer. 

In June 2021, Alexandra was awarded the Impact.Award by the University and City of Vienna, allowing her to launch the LINK project (Language Instruction NetworK) to connect researchers and teachers of English across Europe. Besides, she was invited to an interview on grammar teaching by the Stockholm University's initiative CIRCLE, Current inquiry and research conversations in language education. Currently, she is preparing for a large-scale, cross-national project on English Language Teaching in Primary Education, to be presented at a Teacher Colloquium in Perpignan, France in Spring 2022.
