Name: Ashley CoppolinoHometown: Manhasset Hills, NYMajor: Communication Arts (Creative Media Concentration) & double minoring in Photography and Business ManagementOn Campus Involvement: HerCampus, avid Griffin Gear shopperPast Internships/Jobs: currently interning at Nickelodeon in the photography departmentBest memory at MMC: I can’t pick a specific memory to call my favorite, but I have met Mariska Hargitay, won lottery for Newsies twice, wrote a paper about Kim Kardashian and another about Justin Bieber, developing film on a Sunday night with half the class when it was due Monday morning, and Strawberry Fest 2014. Fav Class You’ve Taken: Producing For Creative Media with Prof. Dan Hunt. I aspire to be a director/producer and this class was exactly what I needed to know. Advice for freshman: Have a website. It’s 2014. You can meet anybody anywhere: on a train, in an elevator, on the corner of 33rd street. I’ve given my website out at all three locations. It helped get my current internship because my website serves as my public portfolio that has my films, photography, biography, and resume one click away. (For reference, www.ashleycoppolino.com)

Pick One!Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt? FroYo! Red Mango’s FroYo to be specific. I go there so often that i’m on a first name basis with the founder. We follow each other on social media and he gave me a gift card for my high school graduation. Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts? Depends on the beverage. Starbz has better iced teas and Dunkin makes a stellar hot coco. Stay up late or wake up early? I’m an early bird. By 9am, I’ve probably watched a full-length film. Brooklyn Nets or New York Knicks? I’m not into sports, but I’d go with the Nets ’cause everything is better in Brooklyn. Concerts or Broadway Shows? Concerts!Union Square Park or Washington Square Park? Washington Square Park because Potatopia, Peanut Butter & Co., cute NYU boys, and the IFC are within walking distance. Walk or Subway? Walking because the subway is NEVER accurate. Especially the E on the weekends. #nopeGossip Girl or Sex & The City? Gossip Girl. I’m actually Blair Waldorf
