Alessia Cortina

After completing two undergraduate degrees—one in English Literature with a minor in Digital Humanities, and another in Political Science with a minor in Language and Culture—at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, I have embarked on a Master’s degree in Environmental Humanities at the Rachel Carson Center.

My diverse work experience reflects my interdisciplinary interests and adaptability. I have served as a historical guide at a VR museum, an administrative assistant at LMU’s Writing Center, and a tutor for English Literature and Academic Writing. Currently, I manage the library and research database for the International Centre for Children and Youth Media (IZI) at Bavarian Broadcasting (BR). In addition, I contribute to research articles for our bi-yearly journal and assist in designing educative TV shows and other media programmes for children and young adults, with a particular focus on environmental topics.
