Alexa Kurzius

​​I'm a managing editor at Newsela, where I oversee a team creating original and curated science and video content. Newsela is an educational website serving two thirds of public schools in the United States. 

Previously, I was a science journalist and video producer at Scholastic. I've written for The Week Jr., Wired, and The New York Times Upfront, among others, and published three kids science chapter books.

​I received my master's degree in science journalism from New York University and my bachelor's degree in English & Psychology from the Johns Hopkins University.
