Alex

Hi, I’m Alex (she/her), and I’m here to offer peer support for students who may relate to my experiences. I’m currently in my final year of the BSW program, and I have a background in Addiction and Mental Health/SSW, having completed my diploma as a mature student. As a single mother of four, I know firsthand the challenges of balancing academics with parenting, especially while navigating anxiety and neurodivergence.
I understand what it's like to juggle multiple responsibilities as a student, a parent, and as someone who faces personal and mental health challenges. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets it—whether it’s the struggles of being a single parent, managing anxiety, or navigating school as a neurodivergent individual—I’m here to support you. I believe in the importance of educational support and am passionate about helping students succeed in spite of the challenges they face.
