ALEXANDRA DIANA DEMOU
FOUNDER/DIRECTOR
I am an artist at heart, an educator by training and an entrepreneur by accident!
Alexandra grew up in New Canaan, CT an hour from NYC where she focused her studies on fine art and industrial design until she was 20 and then made the decision to study Hotel and Hospitality Management in Greece and in New York. She has a Swiss Diploma and a B.S. from New York University. After working at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Columbus Circle, she decided to change paths and applied to Bank Street College where she has a Master’s Degree in Education.
Alexandra taught at private schools, K-5, in New York City for several years before moving to Mexico where she continued teaching, consulting and working in school administration at the British American School in Tijuana, the Colegio Americano in San Luis Potosi, the American School Foundation in Mexico City among other academic institutions.
Ms. Demou is the founding owner of Welcome Home Mexico, a relocation and real estate company based in Polanco, CDMX where she currently devotes all of her time. WHM works purely by word of mouth to help expats coming to Mexico City find a place to live, a school for their children and a community for them to belong to.
