Alexandra Kenin

Alexandra Kenin grew up in Wyckoff, New Jersey, and is proud to be a Jersey girl. She studied French and business at Georgetown University and then spent a few years working and playing in New York City. While living in New York, she took a fateful vacation to San Francisco, which influenced her to move to the City by the Bay. But before making it out west, she had some more work to do. She earned an MBA from the Wharton School and an MA from the Lauder Institute—both at the University of Pennsylvania. After graduation, she moved to San Francisco and worked as a product marketing manager at Google for nearly five years. After leaving Google, she began exploring the city, eventually coming up with the idea for her urban hiking tour company, Urban Hiker SF. Urban Hiker SF was founded in 2012 and explores the stairways, hills, and hiking trails of the city. Alexandra is passionate about travel and tries to visit a new country every year (she’s up to forty-nine so far). When she’s not traveling or out on the trails, she lives in San Francisco with her partner, Brett; her son Dylan; and her dog, Jodie.
