Neila Jamee graduated from Saint Louis University with a bachelor’s degree in English and Communication in May 2007. Soon after, she began writing and editing for an online dentistry Web site, which proved to be technically fulfilling, but not personally satisfying.
She proceeded to pursue a master’s degree in Print Journalism at the Annenberg School for Communication located on the campus of the University of Southern California. By learning the basics of journalistic reporting, she hopes to make her writing more succinct and matter-of-fact. Ultimately, she wants to perfect the art of interviewing/reporting and melding that with a literary storytelling approach.
While continuing her education, Neila also interns at NBC Universal doing market research for primetime and alternative television. She hopes to gain knowledge on the inside development of television programs; making her more adept to write and analyze programs for any publication.
She hopes to work for a magazine or online publication, such as Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, or the Entertainment/Arts section of a newspaper or magazine. Through this, she strives to prove to her parents that all her years of “television and film research” weren’t for nothing.
If all else fails, she will pursue a career in the musical theatre.
