Alexandra Goodman

Alexandra has a knack for shedding light on both common and unique bird specimens. Her contribution to Nest Box allows readers to learn about and take delight in a wide array of bird species inhabiting a range of environments worldwide. While these blog posts are entertaining, and of course educational, there is a deeper underlying goal to her birdwatching writing.

Alexandra is a professional writer striving to use her craft as a mechanism for influencing positive change. She strongly believes the only way to successfully build the momentum needed to push a cause forward toward its end goal is raising awareness on the topic. This starts with encouraging the reader to develop an interest in, and in time a love for, the topic at hand. In her case, she has selected wildlife conservation as her cause of choice.

Alexandra has shown her advocacy for wildlife conservation in a myriad of ways. Hands-on experience volunteering locally and abroad and an earned certificate in wildlife conservation fuel her fascination and provide the knowledge needed to credibly write on this topic. Further knowledge of our winged friends comes from her personal life in which she participates in local birdwatching groups and voraciously reads on the topic.

When not reading and writing, Alexandra enjoys spending time outdoors where she admires nature in all its beauty. She believes the ability to name species of flora and fauna and understand how they function within the landscape adds greatly to the experience of enjoying a woodland, prairie, or mountainside. For this reason, learning, teaching, and enticing others to join her on her mini adventures where she can showcase these species, along with all their quirks, interesting traits, and roles in the environment, are central to her way of life. This, of course, bleeds over into her writing.
