Alexis Morillo
Alexis Morillo is the Lifestyle + Wellness Editor at Bustle, where she oversees coverage on viral trends, relationships, and astrology. She reports on one-off viral trends as they pop up on TikTok, seasonal moments and gift guides, and big picture features about how the latest internet obsessions started.
Before Bustle, Alexis was an Associate Editor at Hearst Magazines for Delish, covering all things food news and TikTok trends. She was listed as one of Muck Rack’s top 10 most-searched journalists of the year in 2021, 2022, and again in 2023. Alexis’s work has appeared in Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar, and Latina Magazine. She has a degree in journalism and psychology from Ithaca College’s Roy H. Park School of Communications.
When she’s not writing or editing, Alexis is likely drinking an iced latte in the AM or a dirty martini in the PM, telling her group chat to go look at the moon, watching a makeup tutorial, quoting a TikTok reference no one understands, or pickling just about anything you could imagine. You can follow Alexis on Instagram @alexismorillo, connect with her on LinkedIn, and learn more about her and her work at www.alexismorillo.com.
