Alex Marques
Alex Marques (she/her) has been an integral part of our school community since 2017, though her Jewish educational journey began long before then. Growing up in Dallas, Alex was heavily involved in the Jewish community.
Then Alex took a year “on” (as opposed to a year off) and spent her freshman year of college abroad In Israel. There she lived on Kibbutz Ketura, studied in Jerusalem, and taught preschool in Tel Aviv. After Israel, she graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in Psychology and Jewish Studies. At UT, Alex was involved with the Jewish life both on and off campus.
Alex then moved from Austin to Boston, and furthered her education by obtaining a Master's degree in Teaching from Brandeis University. Alex's roots are deeply connected to Massachusetts, where both her parents grew up.
With a teaching career spanning 19 years, Alex has enriched the minds of students in both Jewish and secular schools in Texas, New York, and Massachusetts.
Alex lives in Rockport with her husband Brian, who is originally from Gloucester, and their two kids, Zevi and Hazel. Outside the classroom, you can find Alex reading a book at Good Harbor, enjoying an iced coffee, or craving a taco.
Alex is committed to creating positive Jewish learning experiences for the families at Temple Ahavat Achim. Please feel free to reach out to learn more about the Sylvia Cohen Family Learning Project and our upcoming community events.
