The last time you heard from me, I was interning at Chronicle<\/em> on Boston\u2019s WCVB Channel 5. I told you all what a great experience it was for me, but the best had yet to come. By the end of the summer, my hard work earned me the opportunity to be an associate producer for a segment of a show! I came up with my own story idea, organized, planned, made contacts, filled out paperwork, and accompanied the crew on the day of the shoot\u2014all the responsibilities of a real (read: salaried) producer. The episode aired a few days after I left for school, and it was the best way I could have ended my time at the station.<\/p>\n After Chronicle<\/em>, I started working for New England Sports Network (NESN) in the fall. I\u2019m a Boston Bruins\/Hockey East Studio Production intern\u2014a position I\u2019m convinced is the best job in Boston. When the Bruins are home, I ride along to the Garden, where I do one of many things\u2014learn how to run tech equipment from the truck, stage manage the pre-, post-, and intermission reports from the in-house studio, or stage manage the color and play-by-play commentators from their booth. After the game, I usually run tapes of post-game interviews from the locker room to feed them back to the office. There\u2019s a lot of running around the Garden, but there\u2019s no place I\u2019d rather be on game day.<\/p>\n Recently I\u2019ve been doing a lot of work for Hockey East. I was the time out coordinator for the Frozen Fenway games (check out the picture that Dean Sabovik took off of the TV that day!), and I\u2019ve put in countless hours working on Beanpot features in preparation for the tournament in February. My internship at NESN is so multifaceted, I never know what to expect as I walk in in the morning. COM has given me the preparation to handle whatever is expected of me at any given time, and complete the task at a professional level.<\/p>\n Last semester, I applied and got into a class going abroad to London this summer to cover the Olympics with COM. Come next year I will have graduated, and I\u2019m so thankful that I will be able to cap out my three years at BU with such an amazing work experience. You can read more about it here: http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/com\/2011\/12\/13\/students-tapped-to-cover-olympics-in-london\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n The point of my post is this\u2014everything that I talked about truly is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Through COM, I\u2019ve had opportunities and experiences that many college students can only dream of. I\u2019m happy to answer any questions about internships that you might have, and I look forward to sharing my contacts with the next batch of COM students!<\/p>\n The last time you heard from me, I was interning at Chronicle on Boston\u2019s WCVB Channel 5.
