About Alessandra Bergamin

I’m Alessandra Bergamin, a journalist and graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley. I have worked as an environmental journalist, been a copyeditor for the now defunct food website, Eatability and delved into the world of glossy travel magazines for Jetstar Asia. I’m interested in the intersection of immersive journalism and multimedia, short video documentaries, long form writing and insightful travel narratives.
