ABOUT ALEX PEREZ-GARCIA
I believe in the power of smart, data-driven strategy and mixed-method research in solving society’s big systemic My North Star is to become a cross-sector leader in the mental health field. Having spent the last five years in the nonprofit and philanthropic sector, I want to leverage my dual MBA/MPP degree to drive innovation in mental healthcare.Formerly, I was a founding team member of Disability Lead, a startup nonprofit dedicated to connecting leaders with disabilities to positions of power and influence. As Associate Director of Development and Communications, I grew the organization through strategic fundraising and high-quality community outreach.As an inaugural member of The Obama Foundation Community Leadership Corps, I founded an online community focused on mental health fueled by young voices of color. In the first month launched, the platform, which featured lived experiences of mental illness, including my own, was read by thousands across the country. Because of my work, I was selected as a featured speaker during the 2018 Obama Foundation Summit. I served as an Ambassador for the Obama Foundation and Chicago200. I served as Co-Chair of the Chicago Foundation for Women\'s Young Women\'s Giving Council from 2019 to 2020. In 2019, I was awarded the Young Alumna Award by my high school alma mater. I was a 2020 Disability Lead Fellow and a 2021 New Leaders Council Fellow. I graduated with honors from UChicago with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Public Policy.In my free time, I\'m usually listening to a policy podcast, challenging myself in pilates, or facetiming with my adopted cat – not necessarily in that order.Connect with me online @avperezgarcia.
