Hi! I'm Alex, a Miami-based freelance journalist.

I currently cover Florida news as a freelancer for The Washington Post. Before that, I spent more than five years at Miami New Times, most recently as a staff writer covering criminal justice, immigration, politics, and culture.

Before joining New Times, I wrote about Florida's largest women's prison for The Appeal and, as an intern, covered the Surfside condo collapse for the Sun Sentinel. In 2021, I graduated from the University of Florida's College of Journalism and Communications with a BA in Journalism. While there, I held several reporting and editing roles at the Independent Florida Alligator.

In 2022, I was named a finalist for an Esserman-Knight Journalism Award for my story "Miami Cop Fired for Calling Jewish Scripture 'Trash' Resurfaces."
