Bartram Trail High School alumna Geethika Kataru has been selected for the prestigious Television Academy Foundation Internship Program. She is one of just 38 students chosen by Television Academy members from across the country for the 2023 summer program. The foundation’s annual internship program provides eight-week paid internships at top Hollywood studios and production companies to college students nationwide.
Kataru is a 2023 graduate of the University of Miami who majored in political science and film. She is a production management intern this summer at the STARZ network in Los Angeles through the foundation’s program.
“I am excited to see how a STARZ TV show goes from development to production and to be an integral part of the production process,” said Kataru of St. Augustine. “I am also excited to meet the industry professionals in my office and at STARZ in general who I am sure I will learn lots from!”
The internship program also provides professional development sessions with leaders in the television industry and customized seminars covering personal brand-building and navigating the job market ahead for participating students. Interns also become lifelong members of the foundation’s alumni family, giving them access to events and networking opportunities as they build their careers in the industry.
The Television Academy Foundation shapes the art of creating television by engaging and educating the next generation of television professionals, providing essential resources that help them discover their voices, refine their skills and forge rewarding careers in every sector of the television industry. The internship program annually provides 50 students from across the nation with hands-on work experience, mentorships and opportunities for accelerated career development in more than 30 industry disciplines.
