Alexis is a freelancer with a deep love for music-based art forms including dance, opera, and theatre.
Alexis was a Stage Management Apprentice at The Juilliard School for the 2021-22 season where she worked in the Drama, Dance, Vocal Arts and Special Events Divisions. While at Juilliard, Alexis worked with and received mentorship from well-seasoned professionals in the field and had the opportunity to work on new genres of live performance.
Alexis graduated from the University of Iowa in May 2020 with a B.A. in Theatre Arts and Event Management Certificate. During her time at UIOWA, Alexis stage managed new works and served as Associate Production Stage Manager for the New Play Festival in 2019. She also helped coordinate several events for local organizations after beginning the Event Management Certificate. After graduation in Spring 2020, Alexis worked at two local thrift stores, Plato’s Closet and Once Upon a Child, before moving to NY. She received the E.C. Mabie Scholarship during her time at UIOWA for her contribution to the theatre arts program.
During her undergraduate, career Alexis began working internationally at Dash Arts London where she worked as the Production Stage Manager and Company Manager for an interactive installation, “The Forum,” at the Latitude Festival. She continues to work internationally on touring productions with Crossroads Live ("Cats" national tour) and Ballet Hispánico.
A dog & cat mom, plant lover (sometimes killer), and professional true-crime podcast listener, when not in the theatre Alexis loves spending time with her pets, making bracelets, learning Spanish on Duolingo, and eating a lot of ice cream. She’s co-owner to an adorable tuxedo cat, Cooper, who was brought into her life by her partner, Toby – who she met at the University of Iowa and has been with since June 2020. In December 2021, Alexis adopted a high-energy terrier mix, Rosco, who insists on sleeping under the covers each night. Life is joyous with her two pets.
