Brooklyn College Grad Selected for Television Academy Internship

Brooklyn College graduate Nanda Saboia has been selected for the prestigious Television Academy Foundation Internship Program. She is one of just 40 students chosen by Television Academy members from across the country for the 2024 Summer Internship Program. The Foundation offers paid internships at top Hollywood studios and production companies annually to college students nationwide.

Saboia received a Master of Fine Arts in film production from Brooklyn College in 2024. She will be a scripted series development intern this summer in Los Angeles, California, at Bristol Circle Entertainment, the company founded by former President of Sony Pictures Television Studios Jeff Frost, through the Foundation’s program.

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Saboia attended Colégio Recanto High School in Brazil.

“Growing up in Brazil admiring American TV, the Television Academy and the Emmys seemed out of reach,” said Saboia. “I am incredibly honored to be selected to be an intern this year. I dream that this won't be the last time Television Academy members vote for me.”

The Television Academy Foundation shapes the art of creating television by engaging and educating the next generation of television professionals providing essential resources that help them discover their voices, refine their skills and forge rewarding careers in every sector of the television industry. The Internship Program provides over 50 students from across the nation with hands-on work experience, mentorships and opportunities for accelerated career development in more than 30 disciplines annually.

The Television Academy Foundation’s Internship Program also provides professional development sessions with leaders in the television industry and customized seminars covering personal brand-building and navigating the job market ahead for participating students.

Foundation alumni include prominent writers, producers, documentarians, creative executives, network presidents and more. Interns also automatically become members of the Foundation’s alumni family, giving them access to year-round events and networking opportunities as they build their careers in the industry.
