Alex Vesey is the Venture Manager for Ashoka US. She graduated Sarah Lawrence College with a double major in Creative Writing and Latin. At SLC, she founded her campus's Disability Alliance, which grew into a social and activist group for students with disabilities. After graduation, she spent time at a variety of health and disability organizations. One of her favorite things about her work with Ashoka is the opportunity to learn broadly about the exciting work changemakers are doing in so many sectors, from immigration to civic participation to gun violence prevention and beyond. She lives in DC with a sweet little cat and is currently attending graduate school. In her other life, she writes fiction about vampires, robots, and mermaids.
