When she is not at work, Alexis volunteers her time with the Champaign County Humane Society, participates in the Shop with a Cop Program, and supports her church and the United Way. Alexis continually goes out her her way to help others! I am honored to work with Alexis and see the impact of her contributions on a daily basis.
