DCDiningGuide's new intern, Ashlyn Frassinelli, started this week and will be running the website's News Feed this summer. Ashlyn is a journalism major in the class of 2016 at George Washington University. Our prior intern, Kathryn Chou is now running the brand new News Feed on NYDiningGuide.com. Kathryn is a New York native and is off to a great start.

Ashlyn and Kathryn were both selected as the best among a large group of applicants for the position, which was quite a long process. Accordingly, we're already beginning our fall planning. If you know of any qualified applicants that might be interested, please have them forward a cover letter and resume to admin@dcdiningguide.com. We're looking for applicants for both the DC and NY positions. Ideally, applicants would be based in either city. However, because our interns work remotely, this is not an absolute requirement.
