Diana Gutierrez
Meet Diana Gutierrez, a DePaul student majoring in communications and media with a concentration in Latino studies and a minor in Spanish. Diana has been interning with ABC 7 Chicago since fall quarter. She works in the programming department for 190 North, where she does everything from research to identifying potential interviewees and even translating content into Spanish. “[My internship] has prepared me because I am able to observe how the real world actually works,” she told us. “I am working in real-time, sometimes even live on-air. I have been able to shoot some stand-ups with the ABC crew, which was intimidating at first, but ended up being the best experience ever because I learned so much about [myself] and my reporting style.”
Diana is a reminder that being at a university in the heart of a vibrant, global city provides the kind of hands-on experience that prepares our students to succeed in the real world. Have your own great internship story to share, or know someone who does? Click the link below.
