Alexis started at PLU in Spring of 2022. Prior to PLU, Alexis most recently worked at the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities & Duluth campuses) in a role similar to Community Directors.

You can see Alexis around campus at all things Queer (see you at the next Queer Connections), volunteering at the Community Meals hosted at Trinity, and knitting at Yarn Group on Thursdays. Alexis grew up in Washington state and is excited to be back! Outside of work, Alexis enjoys board game nights with friends, trivia nights all around Tacoma, and going on walks and hikes with her dog, Lola.
