Alexandra M. White

Originally from Michigan, Alexandra (Alex) moved to Honolulu, Hawaii during high school and obtained her undergraduate degree in political science from Hawaii Pacific University, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Through college and prior to entering law school, she was a paralegal at a law firm in Honolulu, Hawaii specializing in family law. There, Alex developed a passion for family law while serving as a Group Facilitator with the Kids First program in Honolulu, a program designed for parents and children experiencing divorce. While participating in that program, she saw first-hand the impact of divorce on children. Her experience in that program drove her to attend law school and continues to drive her to put kids first in her practice of law.

Alex attended her first year of law school at the William S. Richardson School of Law, University of Hawaii at Manoa. She enjoyed clerking in the family law section of the Legal Aid Society of Honolulu during the summer following her first year of law school. She then transferred to the University of Denver, College of Law where she graduated in the top 11 percent of her class. While attending the University of Denver, College of Law, she also had the privilege of practicing family law under the auspices of the Student Law Office.
