copywriter /
editor /
journalist / essayist
Hey there. I’m Alex and I’m all of the above, sometimes all at once. I’ve worked as a writer and editor at an alt-weekly, a daily newspaper, a biweekly city mag, and several digital pubs, with a focus on entertainment and lifestyle journalism. I’ve dabbled in the world of sales as the director of branded content for a digital media company. Currently, I work as a copywriter for OnBrand, American Express’s in-house creative agency.
A selection of my areas of interest: horror movies (the gorier the better), music (the sadder the better), reality TV (but mostly Bravo), pop culture (but not the Kardashians), maintaining and defending an opinion about the Oxford Comma, and bars —writing about them and drinking in them.
