Jack (He/Him)

Arcadia University, English with a Concentration in Creative Writing

Communications Intern

Why did you choose to intern at FringeArts?

It has provided opportunities for learning that I have not gotten anywhere else. Communications was a newer field for me, and I have been able to break into it by doing the work this internship requires.

What’s your favorite place you’ve traveled to?

So far, Dublin, Ireland. It was my first time leaving the country and it was amazing, both similar and different to America. While there we met an Irish Eagles fan, which was awesome.

Favorite restaurant in Philly?

My favorite restaurant found exclusively in Philly is Yamitsuki, a ramen & sushi place in Chinatown. Not only is the food great, but the decor and atmosphere are as well.

What do you do to unwind?

I really try to stay off my phone, and when I can actually manage that I usually watch YouTube, read too many books at once, and occasionally write, either fiction or poetry.

What do you hope to get out of this internship?

Anything that an internship can offer I’d say. Work experience, connections and a network, references, and the chances to meet new people and do things I could not have done before.

I love to watch a show/movie or read a comforting book to unwind.

London, UK! It was truly amazing and I hope to travel more in the future!
