The View

During her senior fall semester, Werner interned at ABC’s “The View.” In the mornings, she prepared the greenrooms for celebrity guests with the items on their riders and stood-in for the co-hosts during rehearsals. If the show's guests had any other interviews within 24 hours of the show, Werner transcribed the segment and noted visual elements for the segment producers. In the afternoons, she organized giveaways, pitched ten pop-culture and political hot topics for the next show, tracked our upcoming guests’ segments on other networks through online media releases, went on production runs, and screened emails. She had to complete her tasks under tight deadlines while also remaining readily available to assist any production department at any time, further honing her time management and problem-solving skills.
