JESSICA COLEMAN
WHERE ENTERTAINMENT, POP CULTURE, AND A BIT OF SOCIAL COMMENTARY COLLIDE
(but isn't that everything nowadays?)
And... Action!
Welcome! My name is Jessica Coleman and I am an Old Dominion University alumna with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications with a concentration in Cinema and TV Production. I am pursuing internship and career opportunities in broadcast, entertainment reporting, hosting, talent management, writing, script consulting, casting, and production with music videos, television, and movies. I am interested in communication, social impact, and directing opportunities as well. I have previous internship experience from CNN in their Talent and Program Development, WHOV 88.1, WNOR FM 99, and Studio Center, an award-winning production company in Virginia Beach.
Explore my previous experience below, get to know me, and contact me directly to learn more!
