Inspired by the notion of giving back, Alexis Robinson pursued a bachelor’s degree in public policy specializing in nonprofit development from the University of Maryland, College Park. After graduation, she brought her passion to Johns Hopkins while also becoming a co-founder of BitView, a nonprofit organization that teaches Baltimore high school students how to code. “It’s kismet that my first professional job out of college would be in development and fundraising,” says Alexis. “I started at Hopkins as a development coordinator for the Office of Medical Annual Giving (OMAG) and saw firsthand how gifts are solicited and processed.” Alexis quickly became interested in the area of data. She transitioned into a data analyst role with OMAG, where she manages the data processes for all of OMAG’s solicitation projects. She pulls information from database warehouses, including Marketing Cloud and EPIC. A native of Charlotte, North Carolina, Alexis says college brought her to Maryland — Go Terps! — and is happy to now call Baltimore home.
