Hi, I’m Alexa! I’m a researcher by trade with extensive experience in audience and market research across industries including media, entertainment, finance, tech, healthcare, and energy. I specialize in qualitative methods and B2B audiences.
Beyond research, I provide proofreading and fact-checking services for articles, reports, books, podcasts, and documentaries. While research is the core of my career, proofreading and fact-checking give me the chance to explore topics I’m passionate about - politics, history, arts & culture, travel, and food & dining.
While I’m new to freelancing on Upwork, I've spent over five years as a senior analyst / researcher at a major publisher and at a boutique research firm. I’m naturally curious and detail-oriented, and I thrive on digging into niche topics to deliver thoughtful work.
If you need sharp, insightful research or a proofreader to elevate your work, I’d love to help!
