Alexi Silverman

    My name is Alexi Silverman and I am originally from Denver, Colorado. I graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a Bachelor’s degree in the Arts and Sciences. As a total busybody, I do a bit of everything now — whether it’s writing my cookbook, getting my real estate license, or taking care of my Frenchie, Spaghetti. I bring my unique experience and point of view into writing product reviews people can trust. Whether it’s about tech gadgets, pet toys, or kitchen appliances, I aim to provide detailed and accurate reviews that make your shopping decision easier.
