Could you walk me through your career path, starting with your experiences in college? Did you have any internships or jobs before your current role?
When I was in college, I was really trying to figure out what I wanted to do as a career. So I tried to apply to various internships every summer, and that was very helpful in my career.
My first summer internship was unpaid at a production company in Los Angeles and also at a talent management company. I was doing whatever tasks they wanted me to do, like picking up food for them at lunchtime.
I was just trying to learn about the entertainment industry and what I might want to do there. The next summer, I was lucky enough to get an internship at Warner Brothers and was able to work on the CW network's digital team.
After graduation, I ended up joining that team full-time as well. Other internships I had were at Sony. It was a lot of trying out different roles and functions so that I could figure out and hone in on what I wanted to do once I graduated.
