Hi! I am Alexandra Pingree!

I am so glad you are here. Let me tell you a little more about who I am.

I attended University of California, Santa Barbara where I received my Bachelor’s in Arts in Environmental Studies and a minor in Sports Management all while playing Division I college softball. Soon after I graduated I went on to receive my Master’s Degree in Communication and Leadership with an emphasis in adult education from Gonzaga University. I realized after working in private school admissions that I absolutely loved kids and went on to pursue my teaching credential. I began my professional career as a classroom teacher and have held numerous grade level teaching positions, ranging from Kindergarten to Middle School.

Over these eight years I have gained a tremendous amount of experience, knowledge and insight, but have also learned a lot about myself in the process.

Fast forward to now. I began experiencing what many call ‘teacher burnout’. I noticed I was loosing my passion for a career which I once loved and had given so much to. My husband finally said “you can either embrace it or pivot.” Reflecting on both my personal and professional journey, I have realized that transitioning from teaching to becoming a virtual assistant aligns perfectly with my skills and aspirations. Teaching has equipped me with excellent communication skills, organization, a knack for problem solving, and my ability to create something meaningful under time constraints or pressure. This career shift has given me the opportunity to continue supporting others, but in a new and dynamic environment.

Now, who really am I? I am woman juggling multiple roles with grace and determination. As a loving mom to my 3 year old daughter, I cherish every moment. Nurturing her with warmth and wisdom. Being a military spouse I embody resilience and adaptability, often managing my household solo during my husband’s deployments. To fuel my days, I love to start my mornings with a steaming cup of rich coffee, savoring the moments of tranquility it offers. My passion for running and road biking gives me mental clarity, as I find peace in pounding the pavement. In my downtime, I love immersing myself in books or cheering on my favorite sports teams.

With the support from my family and friends it brings me great delight to present Align to You as my Virtual Assistance business. Their continued encouragement has given me the confidence to launch my personal business specializing in empowering small business owners to continue to grow and thrive. Some of the services Align to You provides are general admin tasks, lifestyle support and mentoring and tutoring assistance.

As a devoted mentor and educator I am deeply committed to understanding and supporting each individual’s unique needs. This dedication fuels my ability to relieve clients of their busy tasks, allowing them time to focus on what matters most. By handling the details and stream lining your workload, I empower you to pursue your passions and goals with greater clarity and ease.

I am eager to learn about you and collaborate together!

Much love, Alexandra
