We connected with our latest cohort of D+P interns for a quick Q&A session. Read on below to learn more about Amirah, our fall social media intern!
Give us a little bit of background about yourself!
Hi! My name is Amirah Pooree. I’m a junior at Temple University, double-majoring in vocal performance and communications with a concentration in marketing. I am also a singer-songwriter.
Describe yourself in three words.
Creative, persistent and hardworking
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
When I was younger, I changed my mind about this question every year. It started out as a “singing doctor” when I was about five. I loved anatomy and learning how the body worked, but I also loved music and singing. After this, I wanted to become a pop star. This was my dream occupation until later in middle school, when I took a career pathways course, and it finally changed from popstar to broadcast journalist.
What’s something few people knew about you, but you wish they did?
I think I’m open about everything I do, so this is somewhat of a hard question. I would say how much music means to me. I can’t start my day without putting my AirPods in and having quiet time to center myself.
If you could give a piece of advice to your high school/younger self, what would it be?
Keep going. Keep showing up. Keep doing your thing. The results will show, and once they do, you’ll be happy you stayed consistent.
