Lexie is the Marketing Director of Talent Uplifted. She has a passion for helping small businesses and solopreneurs achieve success and growth, in whatever terms they chose to define. 

Lexie attended the University of Missouri-Columbia and origionally planned to major in pre-journamism. After exploring different opportunties she decided to changer her major (a few times) and decided to major in marketing. She loved being able to use the creative and business forward sides of her brain and how every marketing plan is a new puzzle that needs solving. 

Lexie never stops learning. Whether it is a new marketing trend, a personal trainer certification, or lessons on how to speak Italian, she is always looking to gain valuable knowledge that will help her succeed in her personal and professional life. Lexie recently gave birth to twin boys, Leo and James. She hopes to show them that everyone has a different definition of success and only you can define yours. She enjoys spending her (little) free time being outside as often as she can,  either by gardening, playing with her dog, hiking or enjoying a good winery. She has a passion for traveling and lives her life following the words of the Dalai Lama “once a year go some place you’ve never been before”.
