Hi! I’m a Class of ’22 graduate of Emerson College pursuing a business career in the TV and Film industry. I took advantage of a highly competitive and unique major offered at Emerson, the Business of Creative Enterprises. Which is the perfect studies track to help me launch my career. I supplemented that with a Minor in Marketing Communications and many production and film studies related electives in the Visual & Media Arts department.
My passion for all things entertainment goes back as long as I can remember. Whether it’s live theater, the big screen or the small one, they capture my imagination and inspire me like nothing else. I’ve been attending film series like NY Film Critics and the Arthouse Film Festival since middle school. And screened over 160+ films in each of the last 4 years. My idea of fun as a kid was tracking weekly movie box office winners & losers, and launching a blog and writing movie reviews in middle school. Below you’ll find additional information about my internship experience and links to some of the extracurricular projects I’ve worked on in an attempt to learn as much outside of the classroom as in one during my time at Emerson College.
Better Together with Maria Menounos & AfterBuzz TV Internship
Help produce a daily digital life improvement show from an Emmy winning host. Duties include preparing show notes, writing background memos on upcoming show guests, and proposing supporting social media posts. The show features the world’s best experts, healers, and thought leaders as well as celebrity interviews from Hollywood’s most compelling voices.
Pitch, research, and write editorial articles relating to film/TV, entertainment events, and positive celebrity news that’s published on the AfterBuzz website. AfterBuzz TV is an online broadcast network created by E! host Maria Menounos and producer Keven Undergaro, dedicated to producing ‘after-shows’ for favorite TV shows. I created many high view count TikToks, including one with over 300K views for an account that has fewer than 50K followers.
