Student from Chandler, AZ, Selected for Television Academy Internship in Hollywood

Seton Catholic Preparatory High School alumna Audrey Wood has been selected for the prestigious Television Academy Foundation Internship program. She is one of 40 students chosen by Television Academy members from across the country for the 2025 Summer Internship Program. The Foundation offers paid internships at top Hollywood studios and production companies annually to college students nationwide.

Additionally, Wood was selected for the prestigious Bob Bennett Future Leaders program. She is one of just 10 students selected, amongst the Foundation’s 2025 summer interns, for the initiative. The Bob Bennett Future Leaders program, established by a gift from the Robert M. & Marjie A. Bennett Foundation, provides financial support for interns as well as professional development and leadership training. To be considered for the program, applicants must submit a 350-word essay on what innovation and leadership mean to them and how they plan to apply those qualities in their internship and future careers in television.

Wood will be a senior this fall at Loyola Marymount University majoring in film and television production and screenwriting. She will be an agency intern this summer at the United Talent Agency in Beverly Hills, California, through the Foundation’s program.

“Learning that I was chosen for an internship by Television Academy members was very validating,” said Wood. “I am ready to grow as a future industry professional and learn from today’s leaders and creative changemakers.”

“I love working with other creatives to bring stories to life, and I am looking forward to meeting many amazing and talented people through this internship. My ultimate career aspiration is to work as a writer, director and producer, creating meaningful content that inspires community and joy,” said Wood.

Originally from Chandler, Arizona, Wood attended Seton Catholic Preparatory High School.

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.
