Biography

I’m Alexis, or Lex — a freelance reporter with a focus on local news, climate, and the intersection of fashion, media, and technology. My background in journalism (shoutout to the Newhouse School at Syracuse) keeps me curious, clear-eyed, and committed to stories that matter. I report on community issues, sustainability, and how culture and commerce shape each other, always with an eye toward accountability and impact. I've also spent the last several years in brand marketing and content strategy. That experience sharpened my instincts for audience, voice, and what resonates, skills I now bring to every story I chase. I'm especially drawn to underreported topics, systems-level questions, and teams building toward a more thoughtful future.
