Dr. Alexis is a mother and an ordained messenger of the Lord Jesus. Receiving her calling and operating in the gifts of the Spirit at the age of 15 in a house that did not allow women to preach, she had to become creative to express her obedience and love for the King of kings and Lord of lords through mentoring, evangelism and teaching. At the age of 21, ABBA Father called her to come higher and go deeper in Him. At 24, the shift happened, and she took the necessary steps to commit to the assignment God had given her in the secret place, making the career change to transformational service, teaching, and preaching of the global assignment of Thy Kingdom Come and Thy Will Be Done in the earth, in the generations and in her life as it is in heaven all while working in executive roles in corporate America.
While other little girls were dreaming of becoming their favorite artist, singer or actor, Dr. Alexis wanted to be Kathryn Kuhlman. Shortly before Ms. Kuhlman’s death, at the age of 4, Dr. Alexis recalls watching Ms. Kuhlman on television, and she said to the Lord and her mother, I am going to be just like her when I grow up. Later she added to that vow and vision, taking the Love of Jesus Christ around the world, and feeding all his hungry babies.
Dr. Alexis started feeding the homeless at the age of 9 years old, at the age of 19 teaching children in low income housing projects, ministering in her local criminal justice system, and sponsoring children in Africa and she has not stopped working to connect the lost and forgotten to the risen Savior and King Jesus.
Today, she is a Philanthropist, and Founder/CEO/Lead Volunteer of The Joseph Assignment Global Initiative, a global humanitarian organization with offices in 7 countries with 15 international program affiliates, impacting over 765,100 lives over 17 years. When she is not speaking, teaching, preaching, and working in remote villages in developing nations, Dr. Alexis is coaching successful leaders remove roadblocks to take their calling and purpose to higher heights and deeper depths toward the freedom they desire as a certified Transformation and Mindset Coach with certifications in NLP, Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Time Technique, and the founder of Triumphant Living Mindset International.
Dr. Alexis received her Doctor of Ministry Degree from McCormick Theological Seminary, Master of Theological Studies in New Testament with an emphasis in The Gospel of John from Garrett Evangelical Seminary at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and a Bachelor of Arts Degree from St. Leo University in Religious Studies, Psychology & Philosophy.

Dr. Alexis is the proud parent of 6 amazing children and serves as a mother to thousands of children around the world living in extreme poverty as she works to provide for their basic human needs. She believes, that just because you are born into poverty does not mean you are destined for a life of poverty.
