Alexi Man
Alexi Man (she/her/hers) is a systems-focused data and operations professional rooted in educational policy, AANHPI advocacy, and arts-based mental health and engagement. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, and raised by an immigrant restaurateur family, she brings a people-centered, equity-driven approach to systems-building.
She earned her Bachelor’s in Science Education from Boston University and worked as a research assistant at the Center on the Ecology of Early Development (CEED) Lab, where she developed a passion for backend operations and data infrastructure. At the same time, as one of the few Asian Americans and the sole Southeast Asian and Pacific Islander in her graduate cohort, Alexi was intentional about uplifting disaggregated AANHPI data in research and policy, leading her to begin her career at the National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum (NAPAWF).
A firm believer in the impact of arts, music, and dance on mental health, Alexi later expanded her operational and financial expertise at Path with Art in Seattle, supporting mission-driven work through improved operational efficiency and program delivery. She is thrilled to come full circle and amplify the children and youth-centered side of her work as the Resource Management Specialist at Playtime Project, where she will maintain organizational efficiency and financial sustainability.
Outside of work, Alexi enjoys open-style choreography dance and practicing nail art at home!
