Despite the fact that she is prone to seasickness, Alexa Elliott loves to scuba-dive and spend time on the water. So when she was asked to develop a new, three-year environmental series for WPBT2, she jumped on the opportunity to cover some of the exciting ocean research that is conducted in Florida.

Alexa has worked in public broadcasting for the last twelve years, both in public radio news as well as in television production. She has produced television programs of various genres, but nature and environmental programming have always been her favorite. In 2004, she was a journalism fellow at the Metcalf Institute for Marine and Environmental Reporting at the University of Rhode Island School of Oceanography and in 2008 she participated in another journalism fellowship at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod.

Alexa has received numerous awards for her work, including a regional Emmy, a regional Edward R. Murrow Award, and an award from the Society of Environmental Journalists. She has two degrees in Broadcast Journalism – a BA from Morehead State University and a MA from the University of Florida.

When not working, Alexa loves to spend time outdoors - hiking, skiing or scuba-diving with her husband Andrew.
