About

My name is Alexis Stadler, and I am running for the Union County Public Schools Board of Education, At-Large, in the 2026 election.

​

My career in education began at 19 as a mentor for at-risk youth with a nonprofit focused on increasing graduation rates and post-secondary enrollment in a Title I school. After earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from CUNY College of Staten Island, I continued on to complete a Master of Science in Education at CUNY Hunter College with a concentration in School Counseling. During graduate school, my work as a college counselor allowed me to support students through applications, scholarships, and financial aid.

​

Seven years as a school counselor and 504 coordinator laid the foundation for my transition into mental health counseling, eventually earning my Clinical Mental Health Counseling Associate License and joining a private practice. For the past three years, I’ve been providing psychotherapy to teens and adults, meaningful work that still comes second to my favorite role: being mom to my daughters Charlotte (8) and Kinsley (7).

​

Beyond my professional life, co-leading a local Girl Scout troop has become one of my greatest joys. I also serve as the events manager for the Lancaster Girl Scout Service Unit. Advocacy is another important part of my life; I am engaged in national and state level advocacy where I work alongside families advocating for children with complex medical needs and disabilities. At Waxhaw Elementary, I stay involved as an active PTO member and Den Leader for my daughter’s class. When there’s time to spare, gardening, scrapbooking, writing, and reality TV help me recharge.

​

Born and raised in Staten Island, New York, I moved to North Carolina in 2016 with my husband, Derek, after being recruited to work at a school in Oxford. Today, our family lives in Waxhaw with our daughters, and our pets: dogs Hope and Winnie, and our cats Willow and Archer.
