With over two decades of experience in musical theater, Alexandra “Lexie” Bennett brings a unique blend of creativity, leadership, and a strong commitment to fostering a positive, collaborative work culture to her role as Human Resources Coordinator at the Natalie L. Haslam College of Music. Having performed in a wide range of productions, she has developed a deep understanding of the value of teamwork, clear communication, and creating environments where individuals can thrive.

Lexie has always been passionate about people—both their individual potential and their ability to achieve success together. This passion inspired her transition into a career in Human Resources, where she integrates her creative background with a strong dedication to building healthy, supportive workplaces. She is particularly focused on staff development, employee well-being, and creating meaningful opportunities for growth. In her role, she is committed to cultivating an inclusive and empowering environment where every individual feels valued and equipped to succeed.

With a background in psychology, Lexie approaches HR with a human-centered perspective. Her understanding of human behavior, motivation, and interpersonal dynamics allows her to support staff in ways that prioritize mental and emotional well-being. Whether she is helping team members navigate challenges, offering resources for professional development, or fostering a positive organizational culture, her psychology training enables her to lead with empathy and insight. She is especially interested in supporting staff through resilience-building, improved communication, and enhanced job satisfaction—ultimately striving to create a workplace where employees flourish both professionally and personally.

Outside of her professional life, Lexie is an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys hiking with her dogs and kayaking. An avid traveler, she embraces new experiences with her family and finds joy in discovering new places. A devoted dog mom, she can often be found at the local dog park, connecting with fellow pet lovers and staying active.
