Alex is a multidisciplinary artist working across music-theater, tv/film, and documentary media.
Growing up traveling between her two worlds in Nashville, TN and New York City, Alex developed an early appreciation for different cultures and people (and dialects!) She gravitated toward the arts — performing in plays and musicals, writing poems, transforming laundry rooms into dark rooms, and consistently curious about the intersection of art, humanity, and social change.
After receiving a degree in Anthropology in upstate New York, she hightailed it to New Orleans where she spent several years working in community organizations, swing dancing in jazz venues, creating docu-videos, singing on Amtrak trains, all before returning to New York to develop her theatrical work at places like — The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center, La MaMa E.T.C., Ping Chong & Co., Atlantic Theater Co., Pig Iron Theatre Co., The Flea, and Mercury Store.
In 2021, she received her M.F.A. in Musical Theater Writing from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts with a focus on writing lyrics and books (scripts) for (not-your-everyday) musicals.
Her dramatic writing and songwriting has been produced and presented by Feinstein’s/54 Below, Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, Broadway’s Future Songbook at Lincoln Center, New York Foundation for the Arts, The Brooklyn Public Library, Scranton Fringe Festival, The American Musical + Dramatic Academy, and NYU’s New Studio on Broadway.
She’s deepened her process through joining the casting team of Showtime’s critically acclaimed documentary series, Couples Therapy, winner of multiple awards and featured on over a dozen critics' top ten list, where she interviewed over 800 couples to find the ones seen on the show.
