Intern

Jenny is in her last semester at Northwestern University studying journalism, marketing and Chinese. A proud Korean American, Jenny enjoys bilingual reporting, especially on the Asian American experience.

Jenny has interned with NBC News multiple times, getting her work published on national platforms. She’s pitched and associate-produced a story for the TODAY Show and reported for Nightly News with Lester Holt: Kids Edition twice. On campus, Jenny served as news director, anchor and reporter for the Emmy Award-winning Northwestern News Network and has received multiple collegiate awards, scholarships and recognitions.

Having grown up in Southern California, Jenny isn’t quite used to the Colorado winter but is mesmerized by the state's beauty. As a journalist, Jenny looks forward to immersing herself in the Springs community, engaging with locals and providing news they can use. As a first-time Colorado resident, Jenny hopes to immerse herself in all the local restaurants, coffee shops and one-of-a-kind experiences the region has to offer.
