"The Peter Roth Internship Program provided me with numerous opportunities and answers about the media world. It made me recognize that there are countless avenues to follow for success while also reminding me that there will always be people there guiding me along the way. I was so fortunate to be with a cohort class of like-minded, enthusiastic, and talented individuals. In our weeks together, we got to form a little family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend my Summer in New York.”
