"Nothing sucks like an Electrolux"

High-ho. Welcome to my site. You probably already know me if you're here, but just so the (exceedingly lucky) random web surfer isn't confused, let me introduce myself.

My name is Alexandra Jefferds. I'm a 23 year old rehabilitation science graduate student at the University of Pittsburgh. I did my undergrad studies in bioengineering at the same university. I grew up in the San Francisco area but have migrated to the east coast for college.

School is demanding, but I still find time to make literary, visual, and musical art. Currently, I am finishing a novel, an undertaking which has proven to be massively time-consuming and unimaginably rewarding. You can read about it here.
