She has led fundraising and operations teams, expanding and managing back office functions and overseeing multi-million dollar facility renovations. She started her career as an attorney representing the under-resourced, and most recently led a team defining and measuring impact through data and community systems.

Alex strongly believes that creating an environment where people thrive results in organizational impact. Her focus is to help people find the intersection of their passion and skill set. When people feel secure in their roles, she turns her attention to the organization’s work flow, ensuring clarity and efficiency in order to maximize impact.

 

Alex is enjoys a challenge that requires creative problem solving. She became a mother through adoption on her own, and has since developed a strong relationship with her daughter’s birth family. She is constantly reading, travels to Mexico every chance she gets to practice her Spanish, loves Chicago’s improv scene and is kept busy by her teenage daughter and needy (but adorable) pup.​​
