Meet our Summer 2016 intern class

This summer, we’ve had a few interns join the product team. From the revenue team to video, our interns get to work on the latest projects at Vox Media. To give you some insight on the Vox Media Internships, we’ve started a blog to highlight some of their experiences.

This week we’ve had 4 new product interns join our team. Here is a brief introduction:

Swapnil joins Vox as an intern on the video team. Originally from India, he studied bio-medical engineering as an undergrad and completed General-Assembly’s Web Development Immersive program. In his free time, he enjoys going to concerts, watching  NBA games, and reading articles on Re-Code and the A.V. club.

Noelle is a new design intern on the product team. She is currently a student at FIT in the Graphic Design program. She is excited to be a part of the team at Vox. Some of her hobbies are DIYs, finding and sharing new music, going to concerts and cooking.

Kaitlin hails from New York City and joins Vox as part of the Revenue team where she will work on providing better ad experiences for Vox Readers. In her free time she enjoys listening to music and tinkering. Her alternate career decision would most likely be a farmer.

Anna is joining Vox this summer as an Engineering Intern on the Support team. She studied Spanish and Latin American Cultures in college, and made the switch to coding recently because she loves languages, and building things. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her chiweenie, Tulsi.

Jon joins Vox as an intern on the Chorus Performance Team. He is currently a rising junior at Millburn High School, and a major contributor to Ruby on Rails, and other open source projects.

In addition to meeting and interacting with senior engineers and getting hands on experience with Vox’s various products, the interns were able to go to some pretty fun events such as the Kips Bay Boys and Girls club fundraiser hosted by Eater.
