Megan Hess

Megan is a junior at the S.I. Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse University majoring in magazine journalism and international relations. She is currently spending the fall semester studying abroad through in London, where she spends her days taking classes, interning for The Londonist, eating her way through the city, and traveling on weekends.

Megan spent Summer 2009 as a web editorial intern at Seventeen.com at Hearst Corporation, where she designed quizzes and wrote daily blogs that received over 300 comments (she also blogged about her experience at Seventeen for Ed 2010’s Intern Diaries). During Summer 2008, she was an editorial intern at Parent & Child Magazine at Scholastic – her favorite part was interviewing Queen Latifah for a piece in the features well!

At Syracuse, Megan is managing editor of Jerk Magazine, staff writer for the student newspaper The Daily Orange, orientation leader, and co-executive director of comm.UNITY, a student-run organization that works with local non-profit community organizations to help them create and improve sustainable communication plans. Some of Megan’s favorite things include skiing, baking choco-chip cookies, soy lattes, shoe shopping, and the NYT crossword puzzle (after lots of searching, she finally found it in London!).
