A Year at National Geographic
Twelve months interning with National Geographic UK TV.
Wow — what a year!
Last month I finished my internship at National Geographic UK TV. It felt pretty surreal to have been an intern somewhere so close to my heart, somewhere so iconic, and somewhere genuinely investing in passionate people & stories.
A HUGE thank you to the fantastic Nat Geo team who mentored me. I really did feel pushed to reach my potential. I learnt how to support 8 creative producers, communicate with studios across time zones, book talent, deliver to TX deadlines, and get to grips with budgets. Plus, throughout the year, I was encouraged to maintain my curiosity beyond the role — from development and commissioning, to the National Geographic Society.
The community, belief, and encouragement I received made this internship so special. I've left feeling like I truly made the most of my 12 months there, and it's an experience I'll carry with me (alongside enough branded merch to last my whole career).
