"Alexa was a presence that captured my student's attention from the moment she began her program. She is easily relatable and paints a picture of success that is attainable for anyone willing to put the effort into reaching their goals. She was very approachable and easy to talk to and our Panhellenic community was grateful for the time they spent with her."

What People Are Saying
“Alexa was in a word: amazing. Her message addressing inequality touched on themes of empowerment, positivity and gratitude. At such a young age, Alexa is already a national figure hosting national conferences and speaking to major corporations. She electrified and inspired the crowd. It was amazing to experience.”
— Jeff Perlman, Former Delray Beach Mayor
“Tri Sigma seeks to empower women to change the world, so when we were looking for an opening keynote address for our Recruitment Summit, Alexa was a perfect fit. She set the tone for the leadership weekend by inspiring the women in attendance to recognize the power of personal confidence. She made true connections with the students and received only positive feedback.”
— Katelyn Whitty, Director of Growth Initiatives, Sigma Sigma Sigma
“The student body greatly enjoyed Alexa Carlin’s talk. They filed into the room apprehensive and unsure but by the end of the talk left feeling motivated, inspired, and confident. Students had nothing put praise for Alexa and were excited to meet her and get in touch on social media. Her story of trials, tribulations and triumphs proved to students that they can accomplish their wildest dreams and that no goal is out of reach!”
— Kellie Nostrant, Eastern Oregon University
“Alexa is an incredible speaker! We brought her in to speak to the Panhellenic community at York College of Pennsylvania after a long 2 years with no outside speakers. There was an overwhelming amount of positive feedback from the entire audience, as well as a handful of women that reached out to tell me how individually impacted they felt. Perfect speaker to empower and motive young female leaders! Very down to Earth, genuine, and great person to work with!!”
— Elena Galioto, York College of Pennsylvania
“Alexa Carlin was the keynote speaker at our Female Founders Forum on International Women’s Day this year. She was a phenomenal speaker and motivational leader. She was fully transparent about her life’s challenges and very clear about how she used them as touchstones to a better life. What I liked most was how Alexa moved the dialogue from a high level down to a very practical, tactical action level for the attendees. The Women left the session with real “things to do today” in their work and personal lives. Alexa knows how to empower Women (and Men) to feel they hit another gear of productivity and happiness. Hope to have her back again soon.”
— Jim Stallings, CEO, PS27 Ventures
“Alexa’s powerful message left our Live Más Scholarship students in awe of her journey, yet empowered and inspired enough to create their own. She was just as fun and engaging as she was raw and authentic which allowed our students to not only connect to her, but also to each other. We are grateful for her time and words of wisdom and hope future audiences find her insight just as impactful as we did.”
— JEN WALKER, SR. MANAGER, TACO BELL FOUNDATION
