Early years
Xandra was born in Kiev, Ukraine and emigrated to the United States when she was just 6 months old. Her father played rugby during his school years in Canada and expected his only daughter to hold her own in the sport, teaching her all he knew.

She instead latched onto the faster, American football to have a playground to exhibit her speed and competitive vibe, besting the best receivers in Troy. Xandra's parallel interests in technology and football posed a challenge when she won a spot at the prized Troy Tech high school, but luckily she was able to try out for and land a spot on the Troy High team. Living with one foot in each world was difficult, but worth it, as it landed her an acceptance letter from none other than the number one tech school in the country, MIT.
College career
Starting at MIT in 2018, Xandra joined MIT Football a couple years later, mid-way through a new rebuilding era. After winning only one game in 2010 and two games in their 2011 season, the Engineers would start to build momentum thanks to new depth joining the roster and finish the 2012 season with a winning record. Eventually, in 2014, the team went on to go undefeated in the regular season, finishing 10-0 in the NEWMAC conference and losing in the second round of the NCAA D3 Championships.
