Alexis grew up in Picayune, Mississippi, five miles east of Honey Island Swamp, Louisiana, eating lots of gumbo, jambalaya, and king cake. She moved to Montana five years ago and has lived in Bozeman, Superior, and Missoula. Alexis believes that food security is a human right and that all Montanans deserve reliable access to nutritious and delicious food they look forward to eating. She loves working with a team of people who are empathetic and passionate about ending hunger. More than that, Alexis loves spending time connecting with MFBN’s partners across the state. She thinks it is inspiring, humbling, and energizing to support and learn from folks who care about ending hunger in their communities using innovative and creative methods.
