Alex Kershner

Alex is an Altadena local who, after their home was impacted by smoke from the Eaton Fire, knew they needed to pour their energy into supporting the community they love. With a background in public health, Alex understands that healing is shaped by the networks, resources, and spaces we build together. 

As the Community Wellness Coordinator for the Eaton Fire Collaborative, Alex maintains the shared wellness calendar, connects neighbors to mental health and spiritual care resources, coordinates free programming like healing circles and sound baths, provides ongoing support to the Wellness Committee, and tends the drop-in wellness room at the Collaboratory. At the core of her work is the belief that during recovery, it's easy to forget we are human beings, not human "do-ings", and she brings a deep love for Altadena's spirit and appreciation for the way this community keeps showing up for one another.
