About Alex

Hey there! I’m Alexandria Nicolette Gonzalez, but everyone calls me Alex. I’m an 8th generation Burqueña and I take pride in knowing Albuquerque like the back of my hand. I’ve spent most of my adulthood immersing myself within the community, which has opened my eyes to everything Albuquerque has to offer. Whether it’s on my social media pages or here on my website, my goal is to share my life in Albuquerque which includes promoting local business, organizations, groups, and people, plus anything else that I personally find interesting. 

I graduated from the University of New Mexico with my B.A. in English (professional writing) and my M.B.A. in marketing. A year after completing my M.B.A., I enrolled at the University of New Haven where I earned my M.S. in national security. I love to learn, and if school wasn’t so expensive, I think I’d want to be a student forever. I’ve spent the last 17 years working in local government and as a federal government contractor, focusing on business development, marketing, operations, quality assurance, systems engineering, change management, and project management.

I never set out to be a social media content creator, but during the 2020 COVID lockdowns, it was just me and my late dog Quinn living by ourselves, I found myself extremely disconnected from the world, which I’m sure was a common feeling for many people. To fill this void, I turned to Instagram and TikTok to get socially connected with people again. I began posting videos about my life in Albuquerque and my following immediately took off from there… and I’ve never looked back.

But at the end of the day, I’m just a dog mom sharing my life on the internet, which is quite scary, but therapeutic at the same time. Thank you so much for taking the time to support me and our amazing Albuquerque community!
