Alexandra has background in news-focused research and writing. She's previously worked at top national news networks in NYC, including NBC News and CBS News, where she was the lead-fact checker, a segment producer, and interview producer for CBS This Morning. Additionally, she has worked for the millennial-focused news streaming platform Cheddar, where she wrote, produced, and led the network's top rated show, covering a range of topics, including food and food media. Currently, from her new home in Seattle, Alexandra continues to expand her freelance writing portfolio, while growing a food and travel blog focused on healthy, wholesome recipes, learning about new cuisines, and the best ways to travel.
