Title:  Voice Report Journalism Intern
(Alternate title provided by Ken Steinhoff: “Jessica’s slave”)
Employer:  Voice Report

 

What I'm Best Known For (in the Telecom World):

I’m going to be famous, one day, for my research on international mobile phone expenses. You’ll see.

Other Primary Areas of Expertise:

Journalism and writing. The iPhone. Also, Matthew McConaughy and Matthew Fox – I had the pleasure of interviewing both for my college newspaper while they were filming the movie, “We are Marshall.” Lucky assignment, I guess. I also have more than 1,800 songs on my iPod, consuming 10 of its 30 GB.

Summary of Professional Background:

I am about to start my senior year at Marshall U where I have served as executive editor, news editor and copy editor of our college newspaper, “The Parthenon.”

Prediction on the Future of Telecom & Telecom Managers:

They will go on without me.

Weirdest Thing People Usually Don't Know about Me:

I enjoy singing the tunes from “Phantom of the Opera” at home, as loud as I can, no matter who is around. I also sing along with the contestants of “American Idol.” 

When I'm not talking or doing something in relation to telecom, I'm usually...

Commuting to my internship from our home in West Virginia, listening to my iPod or sleeping.

Book and author I'm currently reading:

Baby Proof by Emily Giffin

CD currently or most recently in my car stereo:

Maroon 5’s “It won’t be soon before long.”

The stupidest thing I've ever seen anyone do or say in relation to a phone:

Watching my mother try to recover her voicemail messages from her cell phone.
