Caecilia Alexandre is currently working on her doctorate in Law at Laval University in Quebec City and at Montreal University.

Since 2011 she has been involved in several NGO dedicated to human rights, environmental preservation and heritage protection in Quebec, Morocco and Mauritius.

She is a member of the Nomomente Institute based in Montreal that provides financial and other resources to indigenous and local communities so they may share their experiences and ideas in international and educational forums.

- Le Centre de droit international et transnational de l’Université Laval (CDIT);
