Name: Danni Rosner
Company: Singer Songwriter
Field: Journalism
Location: Florence

Description: It was December of 2006 - and I had 3 credits left to graduate. As you know - that's a pretty un-stressful last semester, and I wanted to do something different other than let my last months of college disappear into a muddy cascade of senior bar crawls and bitter- sweet long goodbyes. So I googled internships and came across a wide array of programs and companies - but one in particular caught my eye, Global Experiences study/work abroad. If you're the daughter of an attorney, you know that dad won't just go for anything - he needs a plan - one with direction and dedication. I knew that I wanted to go abroad, but I had to make it worth it. I grew up in Tokyo and we'd often go out of the country, take trips oversees - but all that pretty much stopped once we made the big move back to the States and I started high school...so I had a travel bug and it was time to get moving again. Based upon my English background, GE paired me with a tourist TV station that ran programs in both English and Italian. I went into my first interview with Sea Ten - initially interviewing to be helping with translation from English to Italian/Italian to English, but after a few days the boss man said "let's get you on the air!" And so...there I was, reporting in English and Italian on camera in the heart of Florence. .

Tasks: Reporting; presenting; journalism

Testimonial: "I picked my country, city and called up GE's office to get more information - I even went to visit their home office to meet the people i'd be dealing with. It wasn't easy convincing my father, but GE had the best of both worlds - a study abroad program where I'd learn the language and interviews for internships based upon my major and academic interests. He went for it, I went for it - even my alma mater, Virginia Tech - gave me 6 credits for the program."

Where are they now: And that brings me to where I am now - the host of a national music viedo tv show, and a singer/song writer on my second album release
