ALEXA WHIPPO- on filling her buckets & staying true to herself

Alexa Whippo wears many hats- at work, as an on-air promotions producer and editor at Fox Sports Arizona and at home- as a wife and mom to four kids. She realized early that her version of success is constantly evolving. 

In this in-depth conversation, Whippo shares how how her job at Fox Sports Arizona has evolved in seven years, after initially being hired as a production assistant. She talks about the transition from live games to on-air promotions, tapping into her creativity, and wearing many hats at her first job in Twin Falls, Idaho.

She explains why she made the transition from on-camera to behind the scenes, the challenge of being an Asian-American female in sports media and how to solve diversity issues. Whippo discusses the importance of women supporting women.

A mom of four kids, including a newborn baby, Whippo is refreshingly honest about the challenges of balancing a newborn with being a stepmom. She talks about the juggling act of working from home while attending to her kids needs.

Whippo also gushes about the inspiring women she works with at FS Arizona and offers advice to young people aspiring to enter sports media in a pandemic.
