WHO IS ALEX
Professionally…
I’m a Houston-based writer, communications professional, and REALTOR®. Yes, I wear a lot of hats but these student loans ain’t gon’ pay themselves. Originally from Los Angeles, I have years of experience in writing and communications and this is where my passion lies but I was also a middle school teacher for a few years. That experience led me to write my first book, What Teaching Taught Me, in 2017. I am now officially living that author life because my second book, I Wrote This Book to Pay My Student Loans is officially available for purchase. If you’re reading this bio, the book is for you. Buy it now!
I am currently working to become a fulltime screenwriter so my blog posts may be few and far between. But because my side hustle game is forever strong, I am available for freelance writing assignments, screenwriting, workshop hosting and communications consulting.
Personally…
I’m an adult who doesn’t like cooking or cleaning up half as much as I like relaxing. I enjoy spending time with my son Bison, a mini-schnoodle (mini poodle and schnauzer mix). Does that mean I’m a mommy blogger? Hmmm.
I’m always looking for ways to learn and improve so self-help books are a slight addiction of mine. I’m a sucker for pretty stuff and I truly believe that Target should sponsor me because that’s where I spend most of my free time. I like to take naps and eat yummy food and quite frankly, these things excite me most.
WHAT DOES ALEX WRITE?
To be completely honest, I started blogging many years ago just to have a place to express my thoughts and interact with awesome people. Not much has changed. I love how blogging gives you access to tons of new e-friends and write about whatever comes to mind.
I enjoy writing about beauty, affordable fashion (I shop the sales rack 98% of the time) and I’m pretty much obsessed with trying out new stuff so I share product reviews too. When I really really like things, I’ll share them with the #WhatAlexLikes tag so you know it’s really real. This blog is the furthest from a niche blog simply because of how my mind works; I like way too much stuff to stick to one topic.
I write what I want. I write to tell stories that other people can relate to. I write to keep my sanity. I write because that’s what feels right. To put it plain and simple, I write words.
