Alexis is a Bigelow Teaching Fellow and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago. Her research lies at the intersection of contract, administrative, and constitutional law. Alexis's work explores how background administrative and constitutional law principles shape the contractual relationships between different government entities and their contractors, as well as what those contractual relationships tell us about how administrative and constitutional law operates in practice.

Before starting as a Bigelow Fellow, Alexis was a litigation associate at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. She also clerked on the US District Court for the District of Columbia for the Hon. Florence Y. Pan and on the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit for the Hon. David S. Tatel.

Alexis received her JD from Stanford Law School, where she was an editor for the Stanford Law Review and a student in the Supreme Court Litigation Clinic. She also holds a PhD in Biology from Arizona State University, where she was awarded the Distinguished Graduate Student Award and the Teaching Excellence Award. Alexis earned her BS summa cum laude in Biological Sciences from Arizona State University.
