Aleksandra is a Ukrainian-American violinist, composer, and music producer based in Oskaloosa, Iowa. She holds a Bachelor of Music from Iowa State University where she studied violin under Borivoj Martinić-Jerčić and also holds a Master of Fine Arts in Music for Motion Pictures and Contemporary Media from the Film Scoring Academy of Europe in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Her thesis focused on writing music for dramatic non-musical theatre, an approach she applied last year when composing a 70 minute orchestral-blues-dubstep soundtrack for the George Daily Auditorium’s stage production of The Hobbit. Most recently, she composed an original string quintet soundtrack for a feature-length film adaptation of Susan Glaspell's short story: A Jury of Her Peers.

Along with her creative work, Aleksandra is the Editorial and Music Production Manager at C.L. Barnhouse Company, an Adjunct Professor of Music at William Penn University, and a private violin and viola instructor.

As a teenager, Aleksandra regularly attended various summer nature camps and as well as the Dorian Summer String Camps at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. When she isn't busy composing or working, Aleksandra enjoys biking, playing video games, attending concerts, and spending time with friends.
