As a performer, Alexia has been recognized for her artistry and collaborative work across a range of musical settings. She was a first-place winner in the graduate division of the 2018 NOLA ChamberFest with the Magnolia Saxophone Quartet and has performed at the North American Saxophone Alliance Region 6 Conference, with the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra, and in Louisiana State University’s production of Die Dreigroschenoper. She has premiered and recorded multiple works, including Stephen Browne’s In A Cloud, Aimless, as well as compositions by Jase Nugent and Luciano Correa. As part of Duo Vim, she performed a guest artist recital at the University of North Florida and led masterclasses for students.

Her recent creative work also includes Prism, a collaboration with UK-based disabled songwriter and creative Robin Martin. The project reflects Alexia’s commitment to artistry, access, and the power of disabled creatives supporting one another across distance, discipline, and lived experience.

In 2026, Alexia was selected as a Top 50 finalist for the Danny Awards, an international program celebrating disabled musicians, from a pool of talented artists representing more than 28 countries. She was also invited to participate in the Global Jazzwomen Hang, an international gathering of women and gender-expansive musicians designed to foster connection, collaboration, and visibility across borders. These opportunities reflect her growing work at the intersection of artistry, disability culture, and global musical community.

Alexia’s advocacy is rooted in her lived experience as a disabled artist navigating chronic pain, mobility changes, and the ongoing reimagining of what a sustainable music career can look like. Through her work, she challenges outdated perceptions of ability in the arts and advocates for meaningful change in how disabled musicians are supported, represented, and celebrated. She has spoken on disability inclusion in music education and performance, including as a panelist for Syracuse University’s Disability Pride Week, where she shared the challenges and possibilities of being a disabled musician in the workplace. She is also a member of Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities (RAMPD), where she contributes to a broader movement increasing visibility, accessibility, and equity for disabled music professionals.

Her advocacy began through a deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. While serving as the music recruiter at Louisiana State University, Alexia founded the Diversity & Inclusion Student Organization, creating a platform for students to discuss and take action on DEI issues within the School of Music. As the organization’s inaugural faculty advisor, she helped establish a foundation for student-led advocacy and institutional dialogue. To further her work in inclusive leadership, she earned the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace Certificate and the Inclusive and Ethical Leadership Certificate from the University of South Florida’s Muma College of Business. She is also a certified Safe Space Member through LSU’s LGBTQ+ Project, affirming her commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ and gender-expansive individuals in the arts.

Mentorship is central to Alexia’s work. She currently serves as the Director of the Mentorship Program for the North American Saxophone Alliance’s Committee on Gender Equity, where she supports emerging musicians through community-centered professional development, guidance, and connection. Before stepping into this leadership role, Alexia served as a mentor in the program, where one of her proudest accomplishments was supporting mentee Rebecca Wirth in developing and publishing Tuning Your Resilience: A Musician’s Disability Guide, a resource created to empower musicians with disabilities through practical tools, encouragement, and lived-experience-informed strategies for success.

As an educator, Alexia is committed to creating inclusive learning environments that help students build confidence, creativity, and musical independence. Her students have consistently earned top honors in All-State and District Bands across Florida, Louisiana, and Texas, and she has given masterclasses and clinics at institutions including Hastings College, Portland State University, and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She currently teaches music at Barber Middle School in Dickinson, Texas, where she founded the school’s show choir and percussion ensemble programs to expand student performance opportunities and build ensemble skills, accountability, and artistic confidence. In February 2026, her students placed in the top five of the UIL Music Memory competition, reflecting her commitment to developing students’ music literacy, listening skills, and confidence as young musicians.

Beyond the classroom, Alexia serves on the Board of Directors for New Works Project, where she supports initiatives that promote the creation of contemporary music and foster stronger connections among composers, performers, educators, and audiences. Whether performing, teaching, mentoring, advocating, or leading arts initiatives, Alexia is committed to building a music industry where disabled artists are not only included, but recognized as essential voices shaping the future of the arts.
