MindSwitch Education

Hi there,
I am Alexandra
I absolutely love learning - it's like my superpower! Im on a mission to unbundle the future of education and how it relates to our parenting. You can read all about my findings in my newsletter!
I left teaching in the summer of 2010 to build my bakery business. I knew I wanted to explore other fields as my learning journey continued and leaded me into **Business Strategy**.
Eleven months after starting my MBA studies I was temporarily the **Marketing Director** of La Mer in Spain. Strategizing the launch of the Soft Creme new to the Spanish Market.
After eight months, I went back to growing my business and selling it in 2017. Two little humans started to know me as their mom during that time, which is when my parenting adventure began!
My mind had shifted to business, but my heart remained in education.
Early 2020 I was an **education consultant** for Children’s World School to open a new grade level during pandemic.
Currently, I have many edustrategist roles I am enjoying.
I am building Livada.app for parents to plan and budget for their kids education. At Livada, we’ve been steadily building the know-how and designing the perfect tool for eduparents to become that guide on the side.
I lead the **R&D** for K20educators Newsletter on all Web3 topics.
I prepare #futureofeducation webinars for parents.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Mar 28, 2022

The fact is, when we ask kids “what do you want to be when you grow up,” we hope to inspire them to dream of all they could be. But instead, we limit them to dreaming of that one thing they can become.

Mar 16, 2022

We do need to protect kid’s innocence, but by no means is it about exchanging an unpleasant truth with a more pleasant lie.

A Formula For No Regrets.

Oct 27, 2021

The challenge is that we often want our kids to live the life we dreamed for them, or want them to have the opportunities we never had, or want them to be happy in ways we think they will be. How do we set free of expectations and let kids run the show?

A New or Transformed Education System?

Sep 30, 2021

Just as the future of work depends on the future of education, the future of education also depends on the future of work. Even though the future of work is evolving, the future of education is struggling to catch up. How do we create an education system that propels us to the future instead of tying us to the past? Do we start from scratch or transform what we have?

Encourage kids to play “With the Box” not “Out of the Box”

Sep 22, 2021

I want my kids to think like creators and less like users. I want them to tell stories, rather than repeat information, and create new ideas rather than emphasize existing ones.
