"The accident stripped my confidence."

Alix is a freelance journalist, copywriter and certified cheese addict.

She has a love for academics, having studied both journalism and law and having managed to combine the two – with one of her varied positions a media reporter for a criminal barrister on the island of Bermuda!

Alix started out as a feature writer for lads’ mags in the early 2000s and learned early in her career that she had a knack for writing for very different audiences. From humorous articles one day, to in-depth white papers the next, she loves a writing challenge.

Alix and I have met several times at You Are The Media events; I even gave her a very speedy hug at Creator Day this year as she attempted to break the most hugs in a minute world record (she came very close!)

With her varied career and personal challenges, Alix has an incredible story that she wants (and should) share with the world. To that end, she has enrolled in my Speak Like a Speaker Club and very bravely put herself forward for Matt Denyer’s Failed Nights event next year, where she’ll speak for 15 minutes on her ‘failures’! Despite the title, it’s an uplifting and humorous event full of love and learning. (I spoke this year and had a riotous time!)

This was a lively 30 minutes. Alix’s story despite the life-changing accident that nearly killed her is uplifting, humorous and inspiring.
