The 2025-26 campaign will mark the third for Alexis Peterson, who serves as Executive Assistant to the Head Coach, with the Marquette University men’s basketball program.
Peterson’s duties include the coordination of head coach Shaka Smart’s schedule, assisting with driving coach Smart’s culture throughout the Marquette and Milwaukee communities, and supporting projects within the program.

Her responsibilities included vetting and scheduling in-and-out of office meetings and public and private events, preparing briefing materials and assisting with logistics for projects including the State of the City gatherings, 2020 DNC Convention bid and special mayoral conferences.
Peterson’s experience in the Office of the Mayor also included roles as Constituent Relations Manager (2009-12) and Scheduling Coordinator (2007-09).
The Milwaukee native earned her bachelor’s in professional communications from Alverno College in 2007.
