Alexandra L.

I'm an experienced and professional writer and communications professional who is comfortable writing and creating content around just about every subject and on any medium. As a writer, I'm known for my creativity, my sense of humour, my warm and authentic voice, and my storytelling skills. As a worker, I'm known for my incredible proficiency, positive and no-nonsense attitude, and problem solving skills. I'm somebody who does best when managing a heavy workload and who's happy to work closely with my clients to make sure what I'm producing for them is exactly what they want, but who is also wholly independent and who requires little supervision and micromanagement to get the job done.
