Alexa Kurzius

Currently, I work at Newsela, where I oversee a team of editors and learning designers that create and curate STEM articles, images, videos, and lessons for grades K-12. 

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.
