If you are looking for Alex when she’s not working, you might find her relaxing with a good book, playing tennis, doing yoga or connecting with friends. You might even find her off hiking somewhere. “I love staying active to balance my love of food and trying new restaurants,” she said. However, you probably won’t find her in the kitchen. “I don’t enjoy cooking,” she said. “But luckily my husband does. He likes making dishes from around the world, especially French stews.”

Although Toronto is her hometown, Alex spent five years in Düsseldorf while her father was working in Germany. While there, she attended an international school. “There were students from all over the world,” she said. “I was one of only two Canadians and I loved interacting with my classmates and learning about different cultures.”

Later in life, Alex has visited a variety of places—from England and Austria to China, India, and Croatia. Her travels have given her an appreciation for various landmarks, from the SkyDome where the Toronto Blue Jays play to the Altstadt, a borough in Düsseldorf. This square kilometer area is home to not only restaurants and bars but also churches and an array of arts and culture venues. And it claims to have the world’s longest bar thanks to the more than 300 establishments that connect their bar counters to the one next door. Now living in San Francisco, Alex especially enjoys the view of the Golden Gate Bridge. “It never gets old,” she said.

Based in the San Francisco office, Alex joined the firm in 2015.
