Culturalite

New Intern

Hi, my name is Kristen Wong and I am one of the new interns for Culturalite Media. I am a recent graduate from the University of Toronto: Mississauga as a Visual Culture & Communication Specialist, with a Minor in Art History. Throughout my Undergraduate career I have developed interests and skills in all culture, old and modern.

I have a particular interest in the way current social media has been able to encourage and inspire the creativity of individuals around the world. My passion stems from artistic, musical, and literary culture. My interest in art culture probably began when I was young and developed a strong interest in reading, (note my bookworm-nerdiness strongly emitted through my Hogwarts themed picture), the way art and culture can take you away from reality for a little bit is what I love about art culture.

With my experience in design, art, culture, and communications I was offered the great opportunity to explore more of what I love about the arts with Culturalite Media. With this opportunity I intend to explore my creativity and develop new interests which will hopefully help me find out what I really want to do with my life and future career in this field.

Hi there! My name is Josephine Le and I and currently a second year Fashion Communication student at Ryerson University. I was born in Hamilton and moved to Toronto just last year. My love for art began in 2001 when my mom enrolled me in after school drawing classes. Taking these classes for almost 10 years made me consider visual arts as a professional career. However, the world of fashion won me over when I came across a large amount of beauty and fashion gurus on the wonderful world wide web. Just seeing them enjoy going to work everyday made me want to do the same. My appreciation for art and culture, combined with my experiences working at Fashion Week, and headshot photographing for Mass Exodus 2013 has made me interested in a wide range of areas in the fashion industry including illustration, photography, model management, event planning, and public relations.

Besides that, I have an undying love for dodgeball, persimmons, and the color salmon. On my free time, I like to people watch and stroll down random streets in Toronto and see where they take me.

I am beyond excited to intern with such amazing and creative individuals at Culturalite!

New Intern

Hello there! My name is Megan Welsh and I couldn’t be more excited to be interning with Culturalite! I was born in Toronto but have grown up in London the majority of my life. I just recently graduated from Fanshawe College in Fashion Merchandising and I’m so ready to take on this big world! This summer I’m moving back to Toronto and exploring the world of fashion, as well as finding my dream job.

My love for fashion began when I first picked up an issue of Seventeen magazine. While flipping through the pages, I started to make connections between which items of clothing looked the best with the other items and this became my source for inspiration. Since then I’ve found a love for blogging; where I can write and share what inspires me. I’m a health nut and enjoy working out regularly! I’ve recently started training for my first 10k and I also love yoga. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do and I try to immerse myself in new cultures/languages because I find them fascinating. Next on my list is Greece.

New Intern

Hello! My name is Amy Hsieh and I am an editorial intern at Culturalite Media. I will be graduating from the University of Toronto this coming June with a Bachelor’s degree in English. Languages and literature are my passions. I tackle as many tongues as time will allow (I am wrestling Russian these days). I also write creatively, when my rabbit, Filby, is gracious enough to part with some of my attention. My work has appeared in Acta Victoriana, the Hart House Review, the U.C. Review, and What If? Magazine. I am awestruck by the power of communication to connect people, whether it is by way of art or language. This informs my goals to become more social media savvy and multilingual. Culturalite Media excites me as another means of sharing ideas and stimulating creativity and I am happy to have the opportunity to be a part of it.
