Gabriella Alexis | Community Engagement Coordinator

Gabriella Alexis serves as the Community Engagement Coordinator for North Miami with the Policy and Advocacy department. As a North Miami native, she is grateful to be able to give back to the community that nourished and raised her. This role affords her the opportunity to invest in her passions—building economic wealth and alleviating health disparities among Black communities.

Prior to joining Catalyst in September 2022, Gabriella started a research project studying the effects of COVID and the Black Lives Matter Movement on Black students at the University of Florida. She and her team used this data to develop solutions for future times of crisis to amplify Black students' voices at the university level. Gabriella graduated from The University of Florida (Go Gators!) with a Bachelor's in Family, Youth and Community Sciences.
