Alexis Ford

Alexis is eager to join Reading Partners as a Program Associate. As a former kindergarten teacher within Seattle Public Schools, she is more than happy to take on a new role that allows her to continue making an impact on students and their literacy success. Being in the education field has revealed to her the many disparities certain communities face in the educational system, from which she has developed a commitment to fighting against. In her free time she love spending time with her two boys and whatever adventure they lead her on, reading, traveling, going for walks and spending time with her family.
