Interview with Alexandra Albert, Assistant Vice President of Communication and Public Involvement at WSP

In this episode I’m excited to share that I have officially begun my new role as Chief of Staff at Valley Metro and I’m celebrating by interviewing someone I started my career with, Alexandra Albert. Alex and I worked together in the early days of light rail planning, design, and construction; she was in public involvement and I was in program management. Over the past twenty-plus years, our careers have taken very different paths. Alex focused on communication, taking on more and more challenging projects, took a hiatus to focus on her three children, and is now an Assistant Vice President of Communication and Public Involvement at WSP.  

In this interview, Alex shares her insights regarding effective public involvement, her professional journey, and what she’s most excited about when thinking about the future. She has a passion for public transportation from her youth in New York and she’s brought that to a career of service in the Valley. Alex is a consummate communications professional with a wealth of information to share.
