Previous MGM intern

I began my internship at MGM during my first year of university, when I was just 18. After helping out in any way I could one day a week for 6 months, Michelle got me my first job as a Production Assistant on David Atkins' "Santa's Kingdom" at Fox Studios. It was here I first got my start in the entertainment world and I had the most amazing and memorable 2 months. I also made a number of invaluable industry connections, many of whom I still remain in contact with to this day.

After "Santa's Kingdom" came numerous freelance opportunities thanks to Michelle - audience wrangler on the television series "Popstars", paid promotional work on "Dirty Dancing The Musical" and the chance to work front-of-house at a number of opening night theatre premieres. Michelle then lined me up with a job as Assistant to the Company Manager on the smash hit musical "Fiddler on the Roof" featuring the one and only Topol. Again, I had the most fantastic 2 months and learnt so much working in the busy production office on such a huge show.

After my stint on Fiddler, Michelle, once again through her great connections, recommended me for the position of Editorial Assistant at the launch of a new celebrity magazine - FAMOUS. After interviewing for the position I scored my first full-time job and remained there for nearly 3 years learning the ins and outs of publishing.

Without Michelle's help I wouldn't have had any of these opportunities and I'm so lucky I came across her internship advertisement all those years ago as it really did set me on my career path in the entertainment industry.
