Alexandria Hoang
Alexandria Hoang is a cybrarian and community facilitator at the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence.
They began with an Art & Design degree from Alfred University, where their passions for creativity, diversity, and inclusion were honed in groups like Artforce 5 and Spectrum (LGBTQ+). After graduation, Alexandria found community in places like Roc AmeriCorps where she served for two years at the Rochester City School District and continued working within the district after recruitment to the Gandhi Institute. Her work remained the same, mediation, student interests, and literacy programming through a creative lens.
During their time at the Institute, they worked on their Masters of School Librarianship and Information Science at the University at Buffalo. Their work as a public school librarian shaped their love of accessible information, play as integral to learning, and conversation as paramount to literacy.
Alexandria has worked in education for 10 years. They value nonviolent communication and believe that every person is a library unto themselves, and that beloved community starts with seeing herself as beloved.
Topics that brighten her day: Star Trek, cats, food, karaoke, trashy romance novels, and libraries.
