About

Hello, my name is Eliana!

I’m a writer and researcher living in Brooklyn, New York. Most recently I directed and produced “Tech Talks,” an interview series on the intersection of identity, technology and social impact for the Antiracist Tech Initiative at Boston University.

I’ve also worked as a researcher for projects with Break Thru Films, including two seasons of National Geographic’s UFOs: Investigating the Unknown and an upcoming feature film for HBO. While my work spans mediums, it is connected in how I have learned to harness the power of narratives and storytelling for tangible change and impact.

I care deeply about researching in intentional ways that mitigate harm and love to learn from those who have been navigating these fields for longer than I have.
