Alexis Miller’s Prescott story features friendship, saying yes, and service
Prescott Woman Magazine chatted with Alexis Miller, Director of Community Outreach at Stepping Stones Agencies, to find out what makes her enjoy Prescott and everything it offers.
PWM: How long have you lived in Prescott, and why did you choose it as your home?
Alexis: I’ve lived in Prescott for 10 years. I moved here for my family, a slower pace, and the stunning, ever-changing scenery.
PWM: What advice would you give young women new to the city or those considering moving here?
Alexis: Find ways to connect with likeminded women—say yes to events, classes, or groups. It can be uncomfortable at first but worth it.
PWM: What is your occupation, and are there any local events or organizations that have significantly impacted your professional development?
Alexis: I serve as the Director of Community Outreach at Stepping Stones Agencies, a 24/7/365 domestic violence shelter and advocacy nonprofit. I’m grateful to support families, build connections, and ensure people know how to access help when they need it most.
PWM: Do you have any kids, significant others, fur babies, or close family members living in the area?
Alexis: My parents and sister have lived in the area for more than 20 years, and it’s great to be able to live close to them after spending more than decade living far away!
PWM: What do you love most about living and working in this city, and how has it influenced your journey?
Alexis: My family and the community of friends I’ve built here are what I love most—along with serving others.
PWM: How has the local culture or environment influenced your personal or professional growth?
Alexis: I’ve honed my skills differently here—small towns make it easier to connect with mentors and learn from leaders.
PWM: Is there anything new or exciting you are looking into doing or working on for the upcoming year?
Alexis: I’m currently exploring a variety of tech ideas that could help expand and enhance my time and create more space for me to enjoy life.
PWM: Are you involved in the community? If so, what initiatives or projects are you currently involved in that aim to uplift our community?
Alexis: Other than my work at Stepping Stones, I love supporting Prescott Farmers Market and our local farmers, as well as the local music, arts, and theater community.
