• Years at WGBH: 1995-97
• Positions: Intern and Production Assistant

While attending Northeastern University in the mid-90s, I applied for, and received, an internship at WGBH. It was for something new called the ESOL Project, under the command of Fred Barzyk & Olivia Tappan.

After a few months of interning, production began on “Connect With English”, and I was hired on time. Talk about an interesting experience. (Thanks, Fred, for teaching me what a Boxing Nun was!)
