In this episode of From Campus To Crew, I’m flipping the script — from being the intern to designing internship programs that empower the next wave of creatives.

I share how my early experiences in music journalism and blogging shaped the way I built impactful opportunities, including leading high-level programs like Sky’s The Limit Entertainment Internship Program. From artist relations to press kit development, I walk you through how I structured internships to be hands-on, remote-friendly, and deeply meaningful.

If you’ve ever dreamed of leading with purpose or mentoring future talent, this one’s for you.

From intern to editor-in-chief — I took everything I learned from the music magazine world and launched my own blog 📝✨

I wasn’t just writing—I was producing, branding, and building something that reflected my voice 🎙️
