Alesandra Tejeda

I’m an award-winning trilingual writer, researcher, photographer, and audio producer based in New York City.

I’m currently focused on long form writing and audio narratives. I’ve contributed to the Colorado Independent, the Brooklyn Paper, the Washington Post, The Creative Independent, and Written in Air magazine.

I also conduct research, for journalists and media professionals, and fact-check.

Between 2023 and 2024, I traveled the world as a Watson Fellow. I spent my time digging in archives and exploring the relationship between photography and memory, with cameras, an audio recorder and notebook in hand.

I produced podcasts for a few years across various genres for Wonder Media Network, including award-winning shows like As She Rises, I Was Never There, Words to Win By, and Womanica. I have also produced my own audio documentaries, informed by my time learning from the In The Dark Creative Audio Documentary course. Before that I studied environmental studies and journalism at Colorado College.

I have been recognized by the Society of Professional Journalists for my photography and writing about environmental policy in Colorado. 

Mostly, I simply enjoy following my curiosity and documenting what I notice.
