Name: Anastasia Koskorelos Class Year: 2016 College Degree: BA in Media Studies and Production Current Location: Norwalk, CT What was your first job out of college, and what is your current job (if they’re different)? My first job out of college is the job I’m currently in and it is a Production Assistant at A+E Networks. What do you miss most about Marist? I miss the sunsets the most! It was always a great way to end my busy hectic days by just looking up and seeing something so beautiful and peaceful. Tell us a little about your current job and how Marist prepared you for it. My current job is exactly what I wanted to be doing right out of college. Marist really prepared me by giving me the opportunity to be very hands on and actually learn by doing. My classes were very interactive, which allowed me to learn all different aspects of production. What is your favorite part of your job now? My favorite part of my job now is the projects that I’ve been assigned to. The project I’m currently working on is a documentary about women who kill their husbands, boyfriends or friends. Although I can’t reveal details because the show hasn’t aired in the U.S. yet, it is going to be spine-tingling!! What’s the best part about life after college? The worst? The best part about life after college is being on a schedule. I enjoy order and consistency and it has helped me get into a great routine. The worst part about life after college is not living 5 minutes away from my friends. What’s one thing you wish someone had told you about post-grad life? What’s something surprising? The one thing I wish someone had told me about post-grad life was that it is a HUGE transition and you must give yourself credit for getting a job and balancing your life. It was very surprising to me to find out that even after a year, you’re still transitioning into your role. Do you have anything you’d like to tell current seniors as they prepare to graduate? Be patient. If you don’t get a job right away, it’s not the end of the world because you have the rest of your life to work! Take some time for yourself and cherish the freedom you have. What’s your dream job? My dream job is to be a producer on ABC for a live television show.
