Our national parks have given so much to me over the years, from memories of wonderful times with loved ones to rest, rejuvenation, and restoration when needed. It is truly a privilege to spend my days working to give back to them.

Alex joined Washington’s National Park Fund (WNPF) in February 2021. As the Marketing and Communications Director, she leads the organization’s efforts to share stories of impact with donors and works closely with WNPF’s Marketing and Communications Advisory Council to advance WNPF’s efforts to raise awareness of the three parks and grow funds to support them well into the future.

She comes to WNPF from the American Diabetes Association — an organization that is particularly close to her heart as she has lived with (and thrived despite) type 1 diabetes since she was diagnosed at eight years old. She’s now passionate about sharing with everyone around her that diabetes doesn’t have to hold you back from outdoor adventures.

A Dallas native, Alex received her BA in Psychology and English from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
