Hi, I'm Alex. My writing career began when I won my school's D.A.R.E. essay contest in eighth grade, and I've been chasing that high ever since. As a cross-specialty writer, editor and content creator with 8+ years of agency and brand experience, I've come pretty close. I've crafted winning omnichannel marketing campaigns for Fortune 500 tech and software brands, published long-form essays for Buzzfeed News that attracted thousands of hits, partnered with industry-leading brand sponsors to tell the coolest product stories, created click-worthy social media and web copy that spiked my clients' follower counts by 25K, and more. I'm an agile creative with a knack for shaping a good story out of anything, even the most snooze-worthy technical report.But my real gift is finding an audience's pulse—the driving force that compels them to click, read, watch, comment, share and buy. CURRENTLYFor the last two years, I’ve been contracting as a generative AI editor for [FAANG], where I train our industry-leading LLMs by creating engaging, human-centric long/shortform content for them to "learn" from. Ever ask an AI to write you a short story in the style of Stephen King, for help designing an evergreen marketing calendar for your small biz or for a summary of a breaking news article without using the letter U? There's a good chance you may have already seen my work in action. Let’s connect and explore how I can help you tell your story.
