Alexis joined UPrep in 2019 after working in admission for eight years in the Seattle area. She has been involved in the Puget Sound Independent Schools admissions collaborative group, both as a school fair organizer and, recently, as a steering committee member. As an independent school alum, she has a personal and professional appreciation for what independent school can do for individual students and the communities to which they contribute.
Prior to her work in admission, Alexis worked in public information and information technology for Seattle Public Utilities, then moved into the educational field as a preschool teacher. She has been a group fitness instructor for the Greater Seattle YMCA for almost 20 years and holds a BA in Communications from the University of Washington.
Alexis enjoys fitness classes, running, the outdoors, gardening, knitting, and quilting in her free time. She is a mom to three teens and two cats.
