I’m a human-interest and feature writer who specializes in telling real stories — stories that go beyond an average interview and connect with people on a deeper level. Over the past 5+ years, I’ve written and interviewed athletes, coaches, professionals, business owners, and community members, focusing on the moments, struggles, and journeys that define who they are — not just what they do. Some of my interview subjects include: Hailey Hernandez (2020 Olympic diver) Neil Rampe (Major League Baseball trainer) Michael Davidge (champion weightlifter and Olympic hopeful) Cort MacDonald (Stanford baseball outfielder & MLB prospect) What sets my work apart is simple: I don’t just report — I listen. I know how to find the heart of a story, build trust with interview subjects, and turn real experiences into compelling narratives that resonate with readers. I also offer fixed-price interview-based writing packages through my Project Catalog, including human-interest profile articles, community impact profiles, and founder/business stories. These packages are designed for businesses, nonprofits, schools, teams, and organizations that want polished, people-centered content for their website, blog, newsletter, social media, or internal communications. Whether I’m covering a rising athlete, a founder’s journey, a community story, or a powerful personal profile, my goal is always the same: Tell a story that people actually feel. If you’re looking for writing that brings authenticity, depth, and emotional connection to your content — especially in sports, human-interest, profile, and interview-based storytelling — I’d be glad to work with you.

Hi, I’m Alexis—a multimedia storyteller specializing in creative writing, editing, and voice performance. I live at the intersection of words and performance. With a foundational background studying Journalism at UNLV, Creative Writing at Full Sail, and TV/Screenwriting at UCLA, I understand how stories are built from the page up. This deep training in script analysis and narrative structure doesn't just make me a sharp writer and editor—it gives me the exact tools needed to dissect a script and deliver a nuanced, compelling vocal performance. Whether you need a manuscript polished or a character brought to life behind the microphone, I bring precision and distinct style to every project. When I’m not freelance writing or recording, I’m usually playing tabletop RPGs or working on personal scripts—because even my breaks from storytelling tend to involve more storytelling. Looking for a versatile creator who can adapt to your unique voice and vision? I’d love to connect—let’s breathe some life into your ideas! ✍️ CREATIVE WRITING & EDITING I have a passion for storytelling in all its forms. Whether I’m crafting haunting short stories about cryptid creatures, weaving a heart-wrenching poem so prose it borders on pompous, scripting goofy dialogue for a harebrained screenplay, or providing in-depth developmental editing, my work is driven by voice, tone, and atmosphere. Creative & Scriptwriting: Engaging, emotionally resonant fiction, scripts, and multi-character dialogue. Manuscript Critique & Editing: Professional beta reading and structural editing focusing on pacing, character arcs, and world-building. Copywriting: Clear, compelling content that informs, persuades, and delivers practical results. 🎙️ VOICE ACTING & AUDIO PRODUCTION: Working out of a dedicated home studio with professional audio gear, I deliver clean, raw file exports with a guaranteed pristine noise floor below -60 dB. I am highly proficient in Audacity for all recording and editing needs. Character Dialogue: Skilled in developing and maintaining distinct voices, accents, and tones for multi-character projects and interactive storytelling. Long-Form Narration: Proven vocal stamina and consistent pacing optimized for poetry, short stories, and long-form audiobooks.
