About Alexandra Pool

Hi! I'm Alexandra, but everyone calls me Ali. I'm a millennial army-brat who has found herself settled in SW Missouri. My entire adult life I have worked with the public and the last few years I have had the privilege of working in my dream field helping people in philanthropy: working to end hunger with Ozarks Food Harvest. Communication and sociology have interested me as long as I can remember, and I believe that the tools I've learned are what allow me to connect with everyone I meet. I've never met a stranger! As the Special Events Coordinator at OFH, this comes in handy, because I am constantly building relationships with individuals and organizations in our community that want to create an impact close to home. I thrive in a team setting, working together to achieve a common goal, but I am a natural born leader. I am driven by my desire to make an impact on the world and reach success in my personal journey. Having been a vegetarian for most of the last decade, working to better our broken food system has allowed me to do just that. But that doesn't stop me from constantly searching for new ways to learn and improve. In my free time I love to be outdoors: hiking, kayaking, and camping; or at home snuggled up with a good binge worthy show or video game. I also like to spend time with my friends, family, and my Shih-Tzu mix named Pineapple.
