"I was able to work on some amazing projects [at a Warner Music Group internship], including working with Atlantic Records artist Max Frost to stage a surprise performance in my Managing Creativity class. I also interviewed SWMRS' lead singer Max Becker on my personal Instagram story, and went backstage with Spencer Sutherland at his NYC show to capture content. It has been so amazing to work with real artists whose music I love!" —Alexandra Bosworth '20, Analyst, Content Planning and Analysis, Conde Nast
