Alexis is a solid reporter and a very good writer. She’s thoroughly professional: smart, dependable, accurate, hard working, flexible. She has done and continues to do freelance writing for our magazine. I highly recommend Alexis to any editor looking for a real pro who is a pleasure to work with.

When we were campaigning to free Roxana Saberi from an Iranian prison, Alexis Grant reached out to me on her own offering to help. I asked her to take the lead on the Twitter account @freeroxana and she did an outstanding job with that. Alexis also led the hunger strike effort, which generated a lot of attention and media coverage, further highlighting Roxana’s plight and engaging supporters in expressing their solidarity. Our campaign would not have been as successful if not for the social media and organizing skills that Alexis brought to the team.

- Keith Kamisugi, director of communication at the Equal Justice Society.

Before I found Alexis, I struggled with my blog’s direction and focus. Alexis helped me determine my identity as a blogger, gain readership, and refocus my posts. I finally feel like I know where I’m going and what I want to do with my blog as well as how to use my blog as a launch pad for a writing career.

Alexis is a talented, hardworking journalist who earned a reputation at the Houston Chronicle as a detail-oriented self-starter. In addition to having an eye for a good story, she has the initiative to pursue it fully and produces solid work on a consistent basis. She also was a pleasure to work with, maintaining an upbeat attitude even during stressful times and interacting well with co-workers.
