Celestina (Cella) Wright

Cella (sounds like “Chella”) is based in New York. She’s an Editorial Producer at TED-Ed, where she generates lesson ideas and collaborates with educators to write engaging, rigorous scripts on a variety of subjects, from history and social psychology to physics and neuroscience.

She graduated from Oberlin College in 2018 with a B.A. in Biology and Comparative Literature and a minor in Hispanic Studies. She was awarded Highest Honors for her senior thesis, "The Nature of Narratives and the Narratives of Nature: Folktale Ecology, Wildlife Film, and Wild Metamorphoses.”

Cella’s work centers around science, nature, storytelling, and social justice.

Her solo short film project, “Mosquito Metamorphosis,” examines the mosquito life cycle in macro detail and was named Best Young Talent at Innsbruck Nature Film Festival 2018.

She also loves ceramics, embroidery, animation, and languages. She’s been speaking Spanish for years and is now studying Portuguese.
