Alex is a journalist and generally curious human being.

Raised in rural Northern California by two naturalists, Alex sees value in her ability to patiently observe the world around her.

Alex is currently the city government reporter for Oregon Public Broadcasting, where she covers Portland city politics, policies, and the people whose lives they impact. Alex previously covered city politics as the news editor of the Portland Mercury. She has also worked as a news editor and reporter in San Antonio, TX, Washington, DC, and Eugene, OR.

In her spare time, Alex volunteers as an ESL tutor, takes meandering bike rides, draws, embroiders, completes crosswords, and gets lost in the Oregon wilderness.
