She began her career as a mortuary restoration specialist, working in diverse settings such as high-volume care centers, medical examiner offices, and funeral homes of various denominations.
Driven by a passion for expanding access to high-quality, ethical, and affordable care, Alex founded Pale Hearse in early 2020.
