Alexandra Smith is the Director of Marketing and Event Logistics for PopUP CleanUP, a boutique firm that specializes in providing cleaning and rentals for events and commercial properties. Born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, she relocated to Manhattan Beach with her family when she was three years old. She was raised by lawyers, affirming that she never wanted to become one. Instead, she was drawn to creative disciplines and arenas where she would always be called on to stretch. Case in point: for her first Halloween, she wanted to be a salad. During a detour receiving her Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry from Dartmouth, she spent a semester at Vanderbilt University and another one in Toulouse, France. She completed her formal education in New York City at Columbia University's School of the Arts. Aside from her job at PopUP CleanUP, she just finished writing and illustrating an Upper Middle Grade book, enjoys open water swimming, and roots ardently for the New York Yankees. At a financial literary book club, she met the founder of PopUP CleanUP, Kenetia Lee, who invited her onboard to help rebuild the company after Covid decimated the business in 2020. Since then, PopUP CleanUP has serviced many recognizable experiential marketing firms such as BeCore, Proud Robinson, Game 7, and RedRock Entertainment for branding activations for top level brands including Nike, Beats by Dre, Laura Mercier, the 2023 NAACP Image Awards, Dior, Veuve Clicquot, and Netflix is a Joke. In 2022, PopUP CleanUP was designated as one of 225 local diverse businesses in Los Angeles to be an approved supplier of the Super Bowl LVI Business Connect program and was approved to compete for contracts related to the 2022 Super Bowl. In 2022, PopUP expanded its service area beyond Los Angeles to service events in Sacramento, San Francisco, Oakland, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Austin, Phoenix/Scottsdale, Portland, Denver and Minneapolis.
