AT&T Internship
Documentary
Talent | Executive Producer | Brand Ambassador
AT&T partnered with Fast Company to spotlight emerging talent driving the company’s mission of inclusion, growth, and innovation. I was selected as the face of this national campaign, making history as the first intern at AT&T to be featured in this way. The documentary was part of a broader press tour promoting AT&T’s efforts to provide career-building opportunities for underrepresented communities, with features in Fast Company, Dallas Morning News, and The 74 Million.The project’s goal was to share my unique journey: from nonprofit support and college coursework to leading internal initiatives at AT&T—all while embodying the company’s values of belonging, mentorship, and ambition.

Approach
As both talent and executive producer, I helped shape the emotional and narrative arc of the film to reflect my authentic voice and AT&T’s inclusive culture. I collaborated closely with the production and editorial teams to:
Ensure the tone felt inspiring, grounded, and celebratory
Share how my internship gave me access to every department, from retail to business strategy, allowing me to find my true career passion
Reinforce the value of creative ambition and personal drive—hallmarks of both my journey and AT&T’s culture of empowerment
This wasn’t just my story. It became a symbol of what corporate mentorship and access can do when communities are given a seat at the table.
Obstacles & Challenges
Navigated complex scheduling logistics between AT&T headquarters and a flagship Dallas retail store, requiring early morning shoots and tight coordination with leadership.
Ensured all filming—including candid shots, b-roll, and interviews—fit within tight store operation windows while maintaining production quality.
Took an active role in aligning post-production messaging, making sure the final film honored both my lived experience and AT&T’s DEI mission.
Results
The final documentary was published by Fast Company and circulated widely across press and professional channels.
It led to additional internal creative opportunities, including:
- AT&T training campaigns- Internal speaking engagements
- Cross-department collaborations to develop more inclusive storytelling formats
The campaign helped expand visibility of AT&T’s internship and diversity initiatives and remains a milestone in the company’s external branding of workplace culture.
