HI, I'M ALEXIS!
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. Don't let fear keep you from participating.
I'm an assertiveness coach who works with young people transitioning to college. I have worked as a college orientation leader, with women's crisis organizations, violence prevention, and self-defense programs for women and girls. 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!
I wish there was something like this when I was in college!
