1085. A College Internship Lights Her Passion for a Career in Television

“I do think anything you can do in college to experience as many work environments as you can is very helpful, even if it is finding a connection or reaching out through LinkedIn and asking if you can shadow someone for a day or finding an internship that many of the stations, ad agencies and marketing firms offer. The internships I had completely influenced my passion to work in television.”
