Alex is excited to pursue her passion for community-based advocacy and contribute to driving transformative change in our shared communities.

With more than a decade in nonprofit fundraising, Alex brings deep experience and expertise leading public and private institutional investments for nonprofit organizations. She has a focus on systems-building and utilizes a collaborative, team-based approach to advance this work. Previously, Alex worked at an anti-poverty, multi-service agency in Seattle, WA as their Interim Co-Director of Resource Development and Grants & Contracts Manager, advancing affordable housing, state safety net supports, food security, and gender-based violence interventions. There, she was exposed to community-centric fundraising and continues to practice and grow those values in her work. Most recently, Alex was the Assistant Director of Institutional Giving at the Innocence Project in New York City, supporting criminal legal system transformation and restoring freedom for the wrongfully convicted.

Alex graduated from Colorado College with a BS in sociocultural anthropology. She is happiest in service to others and finds joy in the endless accumulation of tchotchkes and going on long, slow walks. Alex lives in Jersey City with her partner, their daughters Winnie and Oona, and beloved cat Hazel.
