Originally from Seattle, Washington, Alexis B. Carter has called Milwaukee home since 2001 following a relocation to the Midwest. Carter received her bachelor of arts in Business & Management from Alverno College and her master’s degree of science in management from Cardinal Stritch University. In pursuit of professional development to complement her expertise in business acumen, in Summer 2020, Carter acquired her SHRM-CP, making her a certified Human Resource professional.

For the last 16 years, Carter has held positions focusing on the functions of Human Resources and Education (K-12 & Higher Ed). Carter's experience in executive-level recruitment, talent acquisition, and employee incentive programming has helped shift the organizational culture and promote change management. In K-12 & higher education settings, she has passionately served in the public, private and charter sectors.

In 2019, Carter returned to her alma mater, Alverno College as an employee, to serve in the role of assistant director of Admissions - High School Recruitment. In August of 2021, Carter was promoted to director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. It has been a pleasure for Carter to be able to serve in another all-women’s educational space and promote Alverno’s ability-based curriculum to prospective students and families.

Carter was named an Emerging Women Leader (EWL) by TEMPO Milwaukee and was awarded the WI SHRM Emerging Leader Award in 2021. Carter completed Cohort 12 of Milwaukee’s African American Leadership Program (AALP) designed to develop and empower Black emerging leaders in Milwaukee. She serves as the college relations director for the Wisconsin State SHRM Council, the director of Community Outreach for Milwaukee Metro Society for Human Resource Management, serves on the Membership Committee of the National Association for African American Human Resource Professionals (NAAAHR) Milwaukee Chapter, is a member of the NAACP - Milwaukee, and serves as vice-president of the Young Nonprofit Professional Network of Greater Milwaukee.

In her spare time, Carter enjoys watching sports (Go Milwaukee Bucks & Seattle Seahawks Go!), golfing, cooking with new flavors, being a plant mom, spending time traveling, and loving and supporting her 10-year-old son (future NBA all-star and investor), Che (like Hey but with a C).
