Eva Chen – Rox and Roll

This weekend I attended the New York Women in Communications Inc.: 2013 Student Communications Career Conference at NYU. I’m aware this doesn’t really have anything to do with music, but it does deal with the pursuit of my dream career, so it’s still pretty relevant to Rox and Roll. At the conference, I was able to interact with various hotshots of the Communications industry, like Allison Stadd, the Marketing & Communications Manager of Shake Shack, and Elisa Benson, the Senior Editor of Social Media at Cosmopolitan. I also had the opportunity to listen to Eva Chen, the Editor-In-Chief of Lucky magazine, speak about her experiences before Lucky and give tips about getting into the industry. It was a long Saturday, but I genuinely enjoyed every minute of handing out my pathetic résumé, grabbing fancy business cards, and painfully sitting up straight.
