Jessi is a wearer of many hats: Production coordinator. Taste-maker. Lover of black clothing and all things wool.

With a background in customer service and hospitality and a certificate in Marketing from NSCC, Jessi understands how to deal with people and constructively communicate their stories. Her journey in the film world first began with working on commercials, music videos and her own personal films. She has since flipped over to the management portion of things and has now coordinated a number of documentary projects, effectively turning a client’s vision into reality. She handles the complex moving parts of production: scheduling, planning, communication and then some. And even though she might seem like a computer nerd, she thrives on set, as an assistant director. When she isn’t being a coordinating oracle, Jessi finds fun in learning. She can be found editing films, dancing, making delightful dinners or telling the best/worst dad jokes she can. Jessi is always down to try something new.

Alex’s love for television started at a very young age. She spent her nights hosting her own television show in the reflection of the kitchen window; her brother sitting in as co-anchor. It’s safe to say her passion for television never died. She just upgraded to a TV screen.

After graduating from NSCC’s Radio and Television and Arts Program, she started producing and hosting her own show, Eastlink Magazine, which lead to a career at Global News. There, Alex co-hosted the Morning News and worked as the station’s Weather Specialist for three years. She then went on to co-host two seasons of a national show, Eyes For The Job, hosted a segment for Your Two Cents TV, and another in That DIY Show. Aside from her gift of gab, she equally loves the creative side of storytelling through shooting and editing.  Sharing stories and meeting people from all walks of life is what Alex is passionate about

When she’s not in front of the camera you’ll find her hiking with her golden retriever, Jace, or hugging any dog within range. Alex can not help but dance when a beat comes on and should not be trusted around pizza and ice cream.
