Name:

 Kathryn CalamiaHometown: Staten Island, NYMajor: Communications Major and Minor in JournalismOn Campus Involvement: That girl who knows a lot about comics.Past Internships/Jobs: I’ve interned at NY 1 at their living unit department and I will be interning at TV Guide this summer. My current job is being a full time Youtuber partnered with Fullscreen and I also write my own comic book called “Like Father, Like Daughter” which should be hitting stands soon. I work for a couple of comic book/entertainment sites like Comic Frontline, Moviepilot, Entertainment Fuse, and TheWeeklyPull.Best memory at MMC: All the film projects I have been able to work on with my classmates.Fav Class You’ve Taken: I really like a lot of the Journalism classes I’ve taken. I never knew I liked Journalism so much until I came to Marymount.  Advice for prospective students: Have fun and take the opportunities that being in New York City can offer.  

FavesMovie: Soul Surfer (think it’s a really inspirational film) The Little Mermaid (I am a huge Disney nerd), and Spider-Man 2 (still to this day my favorite superhero flick) TV Show: This is a hard one I watch way too much TV. A show currently on Arrow, but of all time probably Heroes (I know the later seasons are not great, but the show had one of the best first seasons on television.)  Book: Of course I am going to pick a comic book Tom Defalco’s run on Spider-Girl. Study Spot: In front of the TV, probably not the best idea. Song: I Dare You To Move – SwitchfootSnack: Sour Cream Lays Potato ChipsCelebrity Crush: Stephen Amell from Arrow!!! I love the way he interacts with fan base and it doesn’t hurt that we get to see abs almost every week on Arrow. Magazine: TV Guide but I read magazine articles mostly online. Website: Twitter, YouTube, Comic Book Resource, Bleeding Cool, Comic Related

Pick One!Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt? Italian Ices, but honestly not a big sweets fan. I will grab a bag of potato chips any day.  Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts? I like their frappaccinos at Starbucks, but if I just want a regular coffee I usually go for Dunkin Donuts. I am also addicted to Dunkin Donuts hot chocolate. So I guess Dunkin Donuts. Stay up late or wake up early? I am a night owl, stay up late. I hate mornings. Brooklyn Nets or New York Knicks? Knicks! Concerts or Broadway Shows? Broadway Shows, but concerts are cool too. Union Square Park or Washington Square Park? Union Square ParkWalk or Subway? I am so lazy, subway any day. Gossip Girl or Sex & The City? Sex and The City all the way!
