"Vandy-in-Hollywood literally got me in Hollywood. The internship ViH helped me attain turned into a job working for the head of drama development at ABC Studios, the leading company in television drama. When people ask me for advice, I can only tell them I was in the right place at the right time - all because of Vandy-in-Hollywood!"
