Alex

Hi, I'm Alex, a woman in my 30s, moving to Melbourne from New York in late January for a new job in the city. I'm Australian and originally from Sydney, so I'm coming home after living overseas and keen to get to know Melbourne properly.

I work in technology risk and AI governance, so weekdays are mostly spent at a desk in Southbank. Outside work I like to train. I started Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and I'd love to live near the beach so I can get out into nature on weekends.

I enjoy good food and a good conversation, and I'd rather have a few close friendships than a big social scene.

At home I'm tidy and considerate. I'm happy to cook together or chat in the kitchen, and equally happy to close my door and have a quiet night. I'd get along best with housemates who work full time and have a steady routine, and who treat the shared spaces with respect.

One practical note: I'm getting an electric car, so a secure off-street car space is important to me, and charging access would be a bonus. I'm back in Australia from 2 January and can inspect in person.
