Heaven Pete

Former Intern

Heaven Pete is a senior at Calvin Coolidge Senior High School in Northwest D.C. She is a part of the Mass Media Academy and the Academy Health Sciences at Coolidge High School. Participating in two career academies may be a difficult task for some students, but Heaven has always remained top five in her class.

​

During her junior year, Heaven was introduced to journalism through the Mass Media Academy, and met Deborah Vazirani and Jayne O’Donnell, who welcomed her into the Youthcast Media Group™ family. YMG helped Heaven merge her two passions of solving health disparities within different communities and journalism. When interning for YMG, Heaven presented during a mental health webinar hosted by Well Being Trust, worked with nationally recognized journalists, and had a number of opportunities combining her two favorite interests, health and journalism. Heaven plans to major in Public Health with a minor in journalism.
