My Values

Solidarity

I am determined to amplify the voices, lived experiences and perspectives of marginalized communities and people subjected to unjust conditions.

Solutions

I am committed to presenting a comprehensive and proportional picture of society, including successes and failures.

Creativity

I seek to blend clear, concise reporting with creative literary finesse as a means to engage and enlighten audiences.

Context

I am passionate about keeping the significant interesting and relevant by placing events within historical and contemporary context.

“Alexa creates content that draws you in and has you coming back for more! I had the pleasure of adding her to my team at ACC as a Content Marketing Intern in 2021. She was responsible for crafting our newsletters and, in particular, writing our feature stories. Her ability to connect and draw out fascinating information during interviews easily made her articles captivating. I was consistently impressed with the ideas she brought to our team for new ways to engage our faculty audience. Alexa never missed an opportunity to cheer her colleagues on, and her contagious positivity was enjoyed by all. If you’re looking for a storyteller full of heart, Alexa is your best bet!”
