Why I Intern at TFP: Stefanie Alaimo
By Stanley Meytin
In this series, our lovely interns reflect on their time at TFP, share something special about themselves and discuss what our company values mean to them.
What are 5 interesting things about you?
- I was a baby model when I was younger
- My mother tried to turn me into a child actor
- I started screenwriting when I found a fanfiction script I made when I was younger of “Sonny With a Chance” in high school.
- I’m a thespian
- I can’t do any form of gymnastics
Did you learn something new that you never thought you would?
I learned a lot about the financial end of the creative world. It’s a world that I never considered entering because I had always wanted to be on the creative side, but this internship has shown me a different appeal to the money side of the entertainment business.
What project did you enjoy working on the most?
I’ve worked on so much here that I’ve enjoyed because I enjoyed the learning process of it. The team constantly challenged me and made me work harder. Working here was as if I had been given a taste of the real world instead of being given meaningless tasks.
What is a moment at TFP that you were most proud of?
Learning everything that I have learned so far about the financial aspect of business. I didn’t know I could do this until I was given the opportunity to do it.
How important is team comradery at TFP?
Insanely important!
I honestly consider TFP another family. I know everyone says that, and it’s a cliche to the highest degree. But it’s not the work that makes me smile when I walk through the doors. It’s the people that work there that make me smile.
It is the interns (Rachel, Rachel D, Madison, and Francesca) when we sit together in our little intern circle and help each other out. It’s Alma when Ed Sheeran plays in the office and I know she knows every word. It’s Anthony when I bug him on my social media to say hello to my ‘fans’ (it will happen one day, Anthony) and he jokingly tells me I have no fans. It’s Leena when we’re working, have a heart-to-heart, and talk about the good stuff in life. It’s Sam when I ask him to read every single one of my emails before I send it because I want to get it right. It’s Caitlin when she bluntly tells me what she wants when I try to help her. And last but not least, it’s Stan when at a team meeting he gives us more than generic motivation, but stories to motivate us. One of this company’s core values is human connection, and that goes as deep as the employees themselves.
