Alexandra Elliott is an associate chiropodist at Waterloo Foot Clinic. Alexandra first became interested in healthcare after pursuing a Biology Degree with a Specialization in Health Science from Trent University located in her hometown of Peterborough, ON. Following her undergraduate studies, Alexandra relocated to Guelph to pursue her Masters Degree in molecular biology, in which she studied influenza virus (the Bird Flu). After completing her graduate studies and realizing that life in a lab was not for her, she enrolled in the Chiropody Program at the Michener Institute for Applied Health Science and graduated in June of 2016. Throughout her time at Michener she gained clinical experience working at the Michener Chiropody Clinic, Downtown Kitchener Community Health Centre and Rainville Health (Timmins).

Alexandra became interested in Chiropody because of her love for working with seniors and helping them stay mobile and engaged in their communities. In Guelph she has been involved in several volunteer programs including the Feeling Better Move Well program for the Guelph Wellington Seniors Association, in which volunteers lead gentle exercise in the homes of seniors to promote mobility and enable them to remain living at home for as long as possible. She also acted as a volunteer feeder at the Elliott Community, and is currently involved in the Guelph Syrian Refugee Sponsorship Forum. ā€‹ Alexandra is dedicated to working with her patients to get them mobile and pain-free. She is committed to keeping her knowledge current, and regularly researches new treatment modalities and options to help her patients feel better. Some of her specific podiatric interests include: diabetic education and foot care, addressing issues of access and improving care to remote communities, pediatrics, and biomechanics.

In her downtime, Alexandra loves getting outside and can be found walking her Shiba Inu, or hiking. Her and her husband recently hiked the 88 km La Cloche Silhouette Trail and plan to hike the Lake Superior Coastal Trail in 2017.
