Alexis is an Indy transplant originally from the Mitten State. She relocated to Indy to find personal growth and development and a place to call home. She found all of that and more in her 7 years as a Hoosier.

In her time here, she has worked in many industries including politics, law, non profits, and social media marketing.

Alexis is passionate about community service, connecting with others and helping make Indianapolis a better place. When she’s not working, you can find her directing and competing in pageants, adventuring downtown, traveling, practicing her French and Spanish, cooking and baking, and epically failing at plenty of Pinterest DIY projects

Coming from a large, Italian family, Katelyn loves to bring people together, especially when it involves exploring new places. She spends much of her free time biking or running on the Monon Trail or swinging on her porch with a good book in hand. Prior to joining IndyHub, she was a Campaign Manager at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

A proud alumna of Butler University, she enjoys cheering on the Dawgs and volunteering with education-focused organizations, like School on Wheels. She is an avid green tea drinker, frequently sings off-key to Andy Grammer music, and is a new dog-mom to her goldendoodle pup, Oakley.
