A bit about me.
Hello and welcome!
I'm Alex, a London-based journalist with several years of experience at multiple national titles. As well as writing, editing and live blogging for The i Paper across its news, sport, comment and social desks, my regular freelance clients include BBC Sport, The London Standard and Fantasy Football Scout. My varied experience has seen me cover everything from breaking news, major political events and world conflicts to the Premier League, World Cups and multi-sport competitions including the Olympic Games.
Born and raised in the Cayman Islands, I hold a master's in data-focused journalism from Stanford University and a BSc in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Bath.

Lately...
All work →... I've been taking on more editing and social duties at The i Paper in recent weeks, helping to cover major events ranging from the Budget to the US midterm elections as well as all the latest Premier League developments. I'm off on holiday next week, before returning to cover some Nations Championship rugby, plenty of footy and lots more!
