Alexandra managed a variety of GI and Liver diseases as part of clinical team in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition at the Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center. In this role, Alexandra helped to start on-boarding GI and Hepatology Fellowship program for Advanced Practice Providers and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center, which continue to grow and evolve today. She was a part of several studies in irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, fatty liver disease and contributed to several publications. Through collaboration with other health care professionals, she helped to develop evidence-based medical nutrition therapies to support clinical practice.
