She’s s kept busy with her chocolate Labrador, Charlie (who mostly knows the difference between what is edible and what isn’t) and is the proud aunt to Sierra, a German Shepherd (who is scared of his own shadow). Alex’s passions include Harry Potter, cross stitch, playing netball, kayaking and getting outdoors. She loves watching football, both SAAFL and AFL and she is a mad Adelaide Crows supporter; if the game is on, you know where Alex will be!
