THE TEAM:
Emily Miethner
Founder // President
Throughout my college career and internships I noticed a disconnect between internship hopefuls and companies that are in need of them. I wanted to bridge that gap with NY Creative Interns events. In addition, our blog offers great advice with an emphasis on encouraging readers to reach out to the contributors and those highlighted in our articles. I graduated from Hofstra University with a Bachelor of Science in Fine Arts with a concentration in Design. My full time gig is Community Manager for RecordSetter, where we believe everyone is the world’s best at something. I’m also a nextNY Fellow and a Board Member of Techies Give Back. Check out my blog, covering social media events and interviews with cool folks, my Twitter, and Tumblr. Cheers! Email: emily at nycreativeinterns dot com

It is incredibly gratifying to be able to work with NY Creative Interns to help students connect with creative professionals in their field of interest. I graduated from Eugene Lang with a B.A. in Literature and I have a post-baccalaureate Certificate in Digital and Graphic Design Production from NYU.
