About

Alexis D. Greene, MPA

Higher Education Leader | Workforce Development Professional | Floral Designer

Alexis D. Greene, known as Lex, is a higher education administrator, educator, and entrepreneur who brings strategy, creativity, and a commitment to opportunity to everything she builds.

With experience across the City University of New York, Alexis specializes in continuing education and workforce development, helping turn program ideas into career pathways. Her work spans allied health certificate training, grant development, curriculum planning, employer partnerships, and the day-to-day operations that make student success possible. From developing budgets and securing instructors to coordinating clinical experiences and certification exams, she understands what it takes to move a program from proposal to launch.

Alexis holds a Master of Public Administration from the City College of New York and is pursuing her Doctor of Education in Higher Education Leadership at Fairleigh Dickinson University. Her research interests center on how Black women administrators in community college continuing education navigate pathways to executive leadership.

Beyond higher education, Alexis expresses her entrepreneurial spirit through AD Florals, creating floral experiences for weddings, corporate events, and celebrations. Her approach to both education and design reflects the same belief: thoughtful planning and meaningful details shape how people experience a space, a milestone, or a new beginning.

Across her work, Alexis is driven by a clear purpose: to build opportunities, create with intention, and help people see what is possible.
