Rolling stonE
During the summer of 2016, I worked as an online intern for Rolling Stone in New York City. My responsibilities mainly consisted of doing extensive research packets for big packages for the magazine and the website, transcribing interviews and helping out around the office. I began pitching stories to multiple editors, and eventually ended up writing two stories for the website during my internship. I continued working as a contributing writer for the website after my internship ended.
