Biography
Alexia is 19-years-old and has just finished high-school, yet her love of Women’s empowerment and STEM (Science, Technology Engineering, and Math) have led her to a level of influence well beyond her years. Bypassing the slow, traditional path to leadership she acted on her passions and established GirlBoss NZ, as a school project when she was just 16 years old. The organisation encourages young women to embrace STEM, entrepreneurship and higher leadership - future focussed fields where they can have significant influence. In two years GirlBoss has become a network for 8000 ambitious young New Zealand women.
Just returned from a space mission with NASA, Alexia’s own mission is to get young women to the table - the boardroom table that is, and she believes the decisions made while young are crucial in paving the way.
Alexia’s passion for future-focussed education is why she was named a Top 30 Global Teen Leader, a Top 5 Young Leader by the Ministry of Youth Development, and the most influential New Zealand woman under the age of 25 at the 2016 Westpac Women of Influence Awards.
In 2018, Alexia was selected from over 20,000 nominations to be named a Queen's Young Leader to receive a medal at Buckingham Palace from Her, Majesty The Queen for Services to the Commonwealth. The youngest Commonwealth citzen to hold this honour.
​
Alexia’s humble origins and incredible journey make her a positive and relatable role model for young women from every corner of New Zealand.
