Hello
From an early age, I remember the impact storytelling had on my life. Growing up, I would come home after school eager to check the mail to see if my new Teen People magazine was in the pile until the last issue came out in 2006 (RIP) ready to read about the latest celebrity news. I’d then sit down to watch Dr. Phil and Oprah eager to see what new narrative would be discussed in those talk shows. It’s over 10 years later and not much has changed, except I had to subscribe to new magazines.
During my time at Temple University, I took every opportunity I could to be immersed in storytelling. While in the city of brotherly love, I interned on Philadelphia’s first and only entertainment talk show, The Q on FOX. I also traveled to the city of angels for a semester to intern on the digital editorial team at The Hollywood Reporter where I produced over 40 stories for the digital format, which included a story on a panel discussion of women working on screen and behind the scenes in relation to the #metoo movement and recent events concerning sexual harassment in Hollywood linked down below.
Through these experiences, I saw firsthand the joy, happiness, and power storytelling brings into the lives of others. I would love the opportunity to continue to bring joy, happiness, and power to the lives of others through telling stories and writing!
