During her time there, she worked as an intern for the World Affairs Council, VH1, and CNN. She also worked as a writing tutor to earn extra income.
Career Beginnings
During her time with CNN, she worked with Anderson Cooper, and was assigned to cover the execution of Stanley “Tookie” Williams. She also worked with other celebrities, and mentioned that she once brought Usher his lunch. After completing her education, she contemplated on pursuing a career as a Foreign Service Officer for the US Department of State but decided against it. Instead, she started working for the music channel called Myx TV as VJ after answering an open call through Craigslist. The channel was originally created in the Philippines, though an American counterpart was later created to cater to the Asian-American community in the US, and she worked there hosting music-related shows – the channel is noted for showing the lyrics while the music video plays, similar to a karaoke.
While with Myx, she also began working as a freelance show producer for “E! News”, which is the flagship entertainment news program of the E! Network in the United States. The program reports on celebrity news and gossip while also doing previews of upcoming films or television shows, as well as covering news about the industry in general.
