Emma Leslie
New York,NY
Summary
Hi! My name is Emma Leslie and 1 year ago, I graduated with honors from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Drama and minoring in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies. I am currently searching for careers at talent/casting agencies that will allow me to take my widespread industry knowledge and apply it, all the while gaining more experience in the business side of entertainment. After working for 6 months as a Talent Agent Assistant Intern, I feel that I am an ideal candidate for Agent Assistant positions. I believe that what sets me apart is my ability to balance my creative and business mind. I am incredibly organized and detail- oriented, have strong project-planning and management skills, and am able to quickly build rapport with people of all ages and disciplines.
