Jennifer Van Dam

External Relations Intern

Jenn is excited to join the Third Wave Foundation as the External Relations Intern because of her interest in issues of race and gender. She has also worked as Membership Co-chair for Women In Film and Media Pittsburgh and as a Development and Membership intern with WQED. She received a BA in Communications and Cultural Studies from Chatham University in 2012 and is currently pursuing an MA in Media Studies at The New School for Public Engagement. Her interests lie specifically in the ways that stereotypes function in the media to create certain narratives that are blindly consumed and continually reproduced. She strongly advocates media literacy. Jenn looks forward to bringing her skills to Third Wave and learning many more along the way.
