Alexei is the model Storyhunter. We gave him a few basic details and he took the CA mudslide story and ran with it. He was able to embed with first responders and found incredible and impactful human interest stories, including rescues. He was great with communication and turned around content very quickly. He was a joy to work with and we are looking forward to hiring him again.
