ASME’s Glamour intern, Michelle Timmerman has three dream careers: a
novelist, a museum curator, and a magazine editor or writer. Right now, she’s on track to pursue the
latter. The Harvard history and
literature major has been involved in the college’s publication, The Harvard Crimson, since her freshman
year. She is also the chair of a weekend
campus magazine, The Fifteen Minutes,
and was a previous intern for a Prague-based journalism magazine, Transitions Online. “I enjoy writing short,
colorful, humorous pieces as much as I love me some heavier, investigative
journalism,” Timmerman said of her work.
But her work experience isn’t strictly journalistic either. Timmerman, who is originally from Menlo Park,
California, has also worked at a Nike store in California and as a camp
counselor in the Swiss Alps. She is
currently both a barista and a bartender at her university. Timmerman’s future is filled with more work
and even bigger aspirations. “After
college? Ideally and impossibly? Travel. Travel a lot and widely and non-discriminately.
And write. And edit. And somehow do all of those things while also making enough
money to eat and indulge in the occasional quality espresso,” she said.
