Experience

Lex has been living adjacent to film and television her entire life. She's been acting since she was five years old, but a few years after graduating college, she got her foot in the door of digital media. She has been writing about entertainment for nearly seven years, having started in 2018 at Life & Style and InTouch Weekly providing coverage for reality TV and celebrity gossip and trends. After writing celebrity news for three years, Lex transitioned into the beat that has defined her and given her the most joy: film and television. She started writing freelance film and television critiques in early 2021, and wrote on the SlashFilm news desk until 2023, when she joined the film and television news desk at IGN. In the fall of 2021, she started working as a social media coordinator at Epic Pictures Group, which is home to Dread Central. Excitedly, she rejoined SlashFilm on the features desk in early 2025 and the TVLine news desk in early 2026. Lex's focus is all things horror, and she has been lucky enough to review modern horror classics at their festival premieres and interview some of horror's most important minds, including David Cronenberg and Tony Todd. You can find Lex's bylines and reviews at Vulture, The Guardian, Dread Central, Film School Rejects, Inverse, The Playlist, i-D, Fangoria, Paste, Roger Ebert, WeLoveCinema, TheWrap, Mashable, Shudder's The Bite, and Little White Lies.

Education

Lex graduated on the Dean's List with a bachelor's degrees from Marymount Manhattan College, where she double majored in acting and playwriting.
