Background

About Alexandra Patterson

As someone with a diverse background in nonprofit work, Alex is eager to help create a brighter future for her community and for generations to come. Her previous work with the Toledo Humane Society helped Alex build relationships with local organizations and raise life-saving funds all while being a voice for the animals that entered the shelter’s care. Before that, Alex’s role as an educator at a children’s science center in Florida cemented her passion for education and providing fun, hands-on opportunities for children to learn and grow. Alex has had involvement with the BSA as she oversaw the Exploring Program through the Black Swamp Area Council - Boy Scouts of America. She connected youth with professionals in the community so they could gain hands on experience in a variety of career fields. These days, you’ll find Alex with her head buried in her laptop, crafting the next great marketing item for her family’s business, Deep Blue Adventures, or somewhere abroad, exploring the world to gather more stories to tell the company’s clients. As a Northwest Ohio native, Alex is passionate about doing better for her community. She grew up in Swanton, OH and in 2013, she became a Falcon at Bowling Green State University! Alex graduated with her Bachelor of Science in 2017 and moved to England for a year, where she was able to work with orphaned seal pups and educate the children on how to help wildlife. After a year overseas, Alex had the opportunity to become a part-time beach bum in Florida. While she loved the sun, sand, and sea, home called to her and she returned to Ohio to be with her loved ones with her two beloved pups, Esby and Mabel, in tow. Though Florida still calls, Alex has met her other half and is excited to settle down and plan their big day. Marketing is one of Alex’s many professional passions in any role she takes on. Organizing events and being able to make an impact on her community is another challenge Alex is grateful to take on. She is always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow, both personally and professionally!
