Alexandra Corpora
Structural Designer



Alexandra was raised in the Owens Valley, after which she moved to the Bay Area to earn a BA in Literature from San Francisco State University. She spent 5 wonderful years in Japan, and after returning to the states, was guided by a deep urge to build. This led her to an internship with a master cabinet maker, and a career as a finish carpenter for one of Reno's finest custom home builders. Currently, she and her cohort are helping to build the first accredited Architecture degree program in Northern Nevada at Truckee Meadows Community College, where she is on track to earn a Bachelors of Architecture. She is thrilled to continue her pursuit of building at MWA, and someday become a licensed architect. In her free time, you will find her in the desert, the mountains, or the forest, with a guitar and a notebook.


All Staff

I have worked with MWA Architects on a number of projects over the years both as a member of the consultant team and as the Developer. My experience working with them in both capacities has provided me a comprehensive perspective of their outstanding knowledge, capabilities and service. MWA has extensive project experience in the local environment working with the applicable jurisdictions. In addition they utilize other highly qualified professionals in assembling their project teams. While these attributes clearly provide their clients an excellent value MWA also prides themselves on producing quality projects. MWA Architects have continually demonstrated exceptional ability in navigating projects successfully though all the planning, design, approvals and construction processes. Retaining MWA as the prime consultant for pursuing a development project in the Truckee region is unquestionably a positive choice.
