Global Program Coordinator
Ohio University
Albany, Ohio
Alexis joined the Office of Global Opportunities at Ohio University in July 2023 after working various positions at Ohio University since 2021. She’s worked with Ohio University students in the classroom as a writing instructor and the library as a rare books librarian. Alexis graduated from Ohio University in 2021 with her Masters in English and a Graduate Certificate in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Her graduate research interests focused on exploring Appalachian women's digital composition practices and developing decolonial writing curriculum.
As the Global Programs Coordinator, Alexis works with faculty to develop global opportunities and supervises student advising. Alexis began her international education career as a study abroad peer advisor during her undergraduate years at Wright State University, so she is excited to mentor and lead a team of peer advisors to continue supporting students interested in global opportunities.
At Wright State, Alexis studied abroad in London for a full semester and planned weekend trips to Scotland, Ireland, Spain, France and a fall break trip to Italy. When the pandemic halted international travel, Alexis took the opportunity to pursue her lifelong dream of visiting all 63 U.S. National Parks. She has visited 20 National Parks so far, with Yosemite, Zion, Grand Canyon, and the Smokey Mountains among her favorites. She looks forward to filling her U.S. Passport and National Park Passport with many more stamps in the future.
Recently, Alexis completed ISA visits in Amsterdam, Madrid, and Paris and presented at Ohio University's Student Success Summit on Study Away 101 information to audiences unfamiliar with global opportunities at Ohio University and designed a handout for students to consider the most important factors when selecting a global program.
When Alexis isn’t coordinating global opportunities, she loves spending time outside hiking, walking her dog, exploring new restaurants, trying new latte flavors, working out with colleagues, listening to podcasts and audio books, and playing video games and board games with friends.
