Fan Fave is launching a brand new series! Full-Time Fan spotlights fans who turned their passion for pop culture into successful professional careers. Over the weekend, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers both celebrated their 10 year anniversaries, and I realized that I never really took the time to share more about my experiences interning for NBC and The Tonight Show. I figured now would be a great time to launch this series and do just that, since I am a prime example of a fangirl turned professional. In this episode, I am joined by my mom, who is a media personality herself, and we discuss my career journey!
