MANAGING EDITOR
Alexis Tirado, New York, NY
Follow @AlexisTT
Proud Puerto Rican, pop culture vulture, lively editor (or so they tell me.) I’m obsessed with the Notorious B.I.G. and my 70-year-old dad, RayRay. Big advocate of the Dream Act and in general, the rights of immigrants. ¡Sí Se Puede! Former bosses are Martha Stewart and Alicia Keys. Claim to fame: I was once in the same room as Beyoncé and Jay-Z and almost fainted. Been wanting to work at MTV since I was 12. #Truth Read Alexis' recent posts.

I started college at 12, studied Civil Engineering at Stanford University, and am a hopeless romantic who once scared a boy away by writing a love song about him...after the first date. Oops.
