Current Position: 

Alexis supports the enrollment, onboarding, and engagement of institutions within the Presidents for Latino Student Success (P4LSS) network. She is responsible for cultivating and maintaining strong relationships with institutional leaders and connecting them with Excelencia’s diverse portfolios, comprehensive resources, research, and programs.

Past Experiences: 

Alexis brings experience from the public and private sectors and is passionate about community building, empowerment, and sustainable impact. She has cultivated a diverse skill set and robust network through her work in state and federal government, politics, and NGOs. Most recently, Alexis worked at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI), where she led nationwide recruitment efforts for four leadership development programs, traveling extensively across the U.S. to bring Latino talent to Washington, DC. Prior to that role, she co-managed the Postgraduate and Public Policy Fellowship Programs, supporting fellows’ leadership journeys as they navigated life on and off Capitol Hill.

Why are you bringing your talent to Excelencia?

As a mission-driven individual who has spent the last several years working for a national Latino-serving organization, it was important for me to continue contributing to a space that improves outcomes for all, while applying a Latino lens. Excelencia has provided me with the unique opportunity to work at the intersection of my greatest passions: community, education, leadership, and policy.

How would you describe working at Excelencia?

I view Excelencia as a powerhouse of an organization. Founded with great intentionality, it is dynamic by nature and filled with dedicated staff – each connected to the mission in their own way. Working alongside such talented colleagues is a privilege.
