An award-winning and highly versatile actor with an MFA in Acting, Alex has played roles from Martha in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? to Beatrice in Much Ado - and from Annie Wilkes in Misery to Dorine in Tartuffe - her range and agility with characters make her an ideal choice for literary fiction, comedy and titles filled with things that go bump in the night.  And as only a Picard can, her enjoyment of Star Trek and Star Wars brings life to the most courageous of Captains and the quirkiest of Aliens in the outer reaches of space.

A lover of all things dark and twisty (since smuggling home Agatha Christie’s and Stephen King’s in her 5th grade backpack), she’s recorded titles ranging from cozies to comedy and lit fic to thrillers for Penguin Random House, Harper, Brilliance, Tantor and Blackstone among others.

As a former college theatre professor (once awarded Faculty Member of the Year) her depth of knowledge and expertise lend an accessible and engaging yet authoritative voice of experience to that educational non-fiction title, or heart and humor to that overworked teacher looking for love.

When she’s not in the booth she enjoys taking to the skies with her pilot husband (the real Captain Picard), hanging out with her kiddos, losing games of Catan, and figuring out what's for dinner (actually, she doesn't enjoy that last one at all). Alex is a terrible cook, not much of a housekeeper, once ran a marathon in a pandemic, works really hard to keep plants alive, and despite her passion for her favorite genres of Thrillers and Horror, has an unnatural fear of paper cuts.
