Available to hire
Hi, I’m Anita Natascia Bernacchia, a journalist, conference interpreter, and editorial translator with extensive experience covering European affairs, especially Romania and Moldova. I write columns, conduct interviews, and provide live commentary for several European media outlets, including Linkiesta and Radio24. With a multilingual skill set and in-depth knowledge of EU politics, I enjoy bringing complex topics closer to readers and listeners alike.
I’m also passionate about translation and interpretation, fluent in multiple languages, and I have worked with EU institutions and international organizations for many years. When I’m not reporting or interpreting, I’m often translating literature or exploring new digital media skills to improve my storytelling.
