HI, I'M ALEXIS!
I believe clear and tangible information on how to keep yourself safe and navigate the city should be available to everyone. I never want fear to keep you from participating.
I'm an assertiveness coach who works with young people transitioning to college. I'm also a licensed New York City tour guide and I'm excited to share with you the secrets of the greatest city in the world!
College is intimidating by itself and adding the dynamics of a big city can feel overwhelming. I want you to have every advantage your first term in NYC, so I created Safe In Her City for women starting college in New York.
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology from Portland State University and received a coaching certification from the International Coaching Federation after training at Coach Training World in 2015. I have worked as a college orientation leader, with women's crisis organizations, violence prevention, and self-defense programs for women and girls.
I wish there was something like this when I was in college!
