Alexandrie Bavcevic

Born in France, I moved to the United States at age five and was raised in Florida, where my path was shaped by resilience and a strong work ethic. Growing up in a single-parent household, I learned early on the value of perseverance. I faced academic challenges and, at times, carried the weight of doubt—both from within and from voices around me that made me question whether I would truly amount to something. Through consistency and determination, I graduated with honors and became an advocate for students from under-resourced backgrounds through programs like AVID.

I went on to double major in Psychology and Event Management while working full-time and completed internships supporting women and children through organizations such as RESTORES and the Homeless Coalition. Along the way, I navigated difficult personal experiences and relationships that challenged my sense of self-worth. Choosing to work through those moments, rather than be defined by them, became a turning point in how I viewed my future.

I began my career with Hilton at 21 and now serve as a Catering Sales Manager at a corporate property, where I’ve been fortunate to grow and be recognized for my work. I strive to lead with empathy and intention, grounded in the understanding that everyone carries a story. Whether supporting a large conference or a personal celebration, I approach each event with care and purpose—driven in part by the perspective of becoming someone I know my younger self would be proud of and that children who grew up like me can be proud of as well as a mom my son can be proud of.
