As an intern at MPCA, I have worked closely and holistically with the Development team. I have assessed casting tapes for films, done research personally for CEO Brad Krevoy and used my knowledge of up and coming talent to recommend young actors for roles.

Writing Intern

May 2017 - Sep 2017
During my time at WAG, I had a number of jobs; however, my diligence and interest in the magazine afforded me the opportunity to write and produce a feature about an up-and-coming ceramicist who worked for high-profile clientele like Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Additionally, I contributed to the design process by generating ideas for spreads for magazine’s travel issue.
