2013 Scholarship Recipient

IN THE PRESS

During the Spring Semester of her junior year in college, Jessica accepted an internship with Viacom and was serendipitously placed in the editorial department of MTV News (basically a dream come true.) Through out the internship Jess contributed content to the MTV News website, assisted on shoots (such as interviews with Cody Simpson, Adam Lambert, and promos for MTVU Woodie Awards) and worked closely with the editorial and production staff to learn about projects. This internship led her to be offered a position as a freelance writer for MTV Pop.

 

At sixteen years old, Jessica was interviewing bands, reviewing albums, live-tweeting movie premieres, and sharing her playlists as Seventeen Magazine's Buzz Girl entertainment reporter. For four years Jessica posted articles weekly on Seventeen.com and appeared in her own column about hot summer concerts in the May 2011 Summer Entertainment Guide. In 2013, after her first year in college, she served as the Entertainment and Lifestyles features intern for Seventeen Magazine and contributed to projects and content, such as the the 2014 Hot Guy Panel, Seventeen tumblr page, and Intern Guide.

 

Jessica was stoked to be invited as one of the first teen bloggers on the Huffington Posts new section Huffington Post High School (Now called HuffPost Teen.) Jessica regularly contributed to HuffPost HS with articles about indie bands, hair donations, iCarly, and teen philanthropists.

 

During the summer of 2013 Jessica served as Alloy Entertainment's intern. Contributing to AE, Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, and The Vampire Diaries websites and social media pages, as well as maintaining Pinterest, having a featured Throwback Thursday book post, and served as one of Gossip Girl's minions at Cody Simpson's album release party.
