I started at the New University in the fall of 2021 as a city news intern. I wrote 10 articles a week, not including a long form piece I did on the raising costs of Disneyland annual passes. I was the city news apprentice for winter and spring of 2022, and became a city news section editor in summer of 2022. I edited 2-5 articles weekly, formulated pitches, trained two successors and three interns, and created the section’s first ever City News Style Guide for contributors.

Journalism majors are required to work in the media center for two semesters for JOUR206 as multimedia journalists. Here, I learned to edit audio with Adobe Audition and edit video with Premiere Pro. I was also named MJ of the Week for the week of March 29, 2023. I worked for the radio, TV and digital teams in 3 hour and 50 minute shifts weekly. I also had a stint as a social media contributor for the Sports Desk, where I honed in on my Adobe Photoshop and copywriting skills.

Dímelo is Annenberg Media’s only Spanish news desk. I helped cover Latinx issues and interests, as well as local and national news. I contributed articles and broadcast packages since the beginning of my involvement in September 2024, through my graduation from USC in May 2025.

Informa TV is Annenberg Media’s Spanish-only news broadcast. It operates on a bi-weekly basis. In addition to contributing a news package, I worked as the teleprompter, stage manager, producer and most often as the pre-production editor. I was primarily in charge of sourcing and cutting footage to upload to the rundowns for shows ahead of filming.

Annenberg TV is Annenberg Media’s half hour English news broadcast, running four days a week from Monday to Thursday. I was one of the Monday show’s producers. I rotated with two others for the roles of lead, video and graphics producer. Together, we worked to manage a team of over 30 multimedia journalists.

I worked for NBCLA and Telemundo 52 as a Digital News and Social Media intern from September 2023 to April 2024. There, I learned about SEO headlines and optimization, social video editing, breaking news push notifications and more. I was a part of NBCUniversal’s first ever academic-year intern cohort. I wrote articles, converted scripts and clipped videos from broadcasts in both English and Spanish.

From start to finish, my time as the social media intern at the Hall of Fame was the most wonderful whirlwind of childlike whimsy and steadfast professionalism. I worked on projects I once thought I could only dream of: designing a baseball card for the Hall’s 85th anniversary (which turned into the official account’s most shared Instagram post of its week of publication), filming the installation of the Class of 2024’s plaques, live posting Induction Ceremony content and more. I spent 10 weeks workshopping captions with my supervisor, filming and editing videos with the multimedia intern and gleefully witnessing baseball history happen in real time.

MXDWN.com is an entertainment publication reporting on all things film, movies, games and more. I worked for the movies section as a social media manager. I handled all Twitter and Facebook posts for MXDWN Movies, as well as copy edited URLs. I used Meta Business Suite and Twitter’s in-house scheduling system to promote writers’ work.

At Intersect Magazine, a publication focused on Gen Z interests, I wrote op-eds for the Society and Culture section. They say to write what you know, and I know my generation. I keep a firm pulse on the digital landscape and am always up to date on virtually every social media and cultural trend.
