Prior to attending law school on a merit scholarship, Alex graduated with a BBA and a BA in management of operations and educational studies from Emory University. She has spent her career working at the intersection of law school admissions, student success, and student affairs. Students Alex has worked with have gained admission to top law schools such as Columbia, Stanford, Georgetown, and George Washington Law.
In her roles as an Associate Dean of Students at Richmond Law and UGA Law, Alex worked closely with admissions teams to review applications and support holistic decision-making. She also advised students on character and fitness disclosures, ADA accommodations, and the transition to law school—particularly for those navigating non-traditional paths, disciplinary history, disability, or other barriers. Her deep understanding of the law school experience gives her unique insight into what admissions officers are looking for.
Alex also has a strong foundation in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), having developed programming and training in collaboration with DEI offices at multiple institutions. She’s especially skilled at helping applicants address sensitive or complex topics with confidence and care. Alex is also a Leadership Working Group member at the University of St. Thomas School of Law’s Hollaran Center.
Alex’s approach to coaching is applicant-centered and grounded in more listening than talking. She believes that every applicant brings something meaningful to the table, and her role is to help them identify it, name it, and tell that story with confidence and clarity. Known for her warmth, humor, and honesty, she works collaboratively with clients to build strong, authentic applications that reflect who they are and where they’re headed.
Outside of coaching, Alex runs a thriving pet care business in Richmond, Virginia, where she lives with a rescue dog named Scooby and two elderly rescue cats named Cindy and Greg. She’s a sucker for Bravo, and is a firm believer that a Diet Coke and a good cry can fix almost anything.
