I was not treated like an intern and was immediately integrated by the team as one of their own. I learned a lot about the reporting field and entertainment industry as a whole. The program had many different opportunities for networking and expanding my knowledge. I was able to meet so many people I have always looked up to and work side by side with them as a colleague.
What I wish was different
I wish I had done a little more research on the brand so it would be easier for me to distinguish what was and was not important.
Advice
Take advantage of your supervisor. They're there to help you and they want to help you. Use them to your advantage to learn. Shadow them. And always be proactive. If you finish the task given, see where you can step in.

Media Tech Intern
June - August 2017 • Universal City, CA
What I liked
Interns were encouraged to explore their interests within the company throughout the summer by attending networking events, meeting with employees in different departments, and working with other interns. Projects allowed for creativity and I had the ability to shape my own experience. Mentorship was readily available and we were encouraged to reach out to leaders within the company to meet with and learn from them.
What I wish was different
If we were allowed to pick our department/mentor, it may have allowed for an even better experience.
Advice
Be as outgoing as possible and make sure to make connections with as many people in as many different departments as possible. Don't be afraid to email someone who has a job that interests you, as it may lead to future opportunities.

Business Strategy & Development Intern
June - August 2018 • Los Angeles, CA
What I liked
The opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the team was the most enticing component to this internship. My boss outlined a very clear framework in 3 parts to how he wanted me to get the most out of the summer and that truly came to fruition.
What I wish was different
I wish I had met other business unit executives earlier in my internship period so that I could try to work on more projects within other units and get more exposure to the company. I started this a bit later into the internship which inhibited my ability to fully dig into some projects.
Advice
Work hard but make the most out of the network that you can build while being immersed in a workplace of incredibly talented and smart people.

Brand Development Intern
June - August 2018 • Los Angeles, CA
What I liked
I loved the hands-on experience with the entertainment industry. I liked learning the ins and outs of entertainment and meeting so many people in the industry.
What I wish was different
My department didn't seem to have a lot for me to do, so I found myself bored a lot and always asking for projects. It made me feel like a burden rather than a blessing.
Advice
Meet as many people as you can and network!

The pay was minimum wage. It was not a liveable wage to pay for housing or necessities, so just beware
Advice
Really great experience. I did real work and really connected with the people I worked with!
