About Alexa

Hello! I'm excited to learn more about you and help you achieve your goals. I'm originally from Tucson, Arizona, and earned my bachelor's degree in International Economics and Spanish from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. During college, I explored my passion for international development through internships at the Colombian Embassy, the U.S. Treasury Department, the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. African Development Foundation, and a nonprofit focused on education and nutrition in Central America. Before graduate school, I worked at Jefferies on the Emerging Markets Fixed Income Sales and Trading team, where I covered Latin American corporate debt as a research analyst. Today, I am completing my MBA at the Wharton School and my MA in International Studies through the Lauder Institute at the University of Pennsylvania. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about the intersection of finance, international development, and impact. That passion led me to pursue joint degree programs that would position me to transition into impact investing. During graduate school, I have been an Impact Capital Managers Mosaic Fellow at Arborview Capital, an active member of Wharton Impact Investing Partners, and have worked with a Brazilian climate and agtech startup focused on scaling regenerative agriculture.
