Colleagues describe them as "I previously worked with Jonaki at UCLA’s Daily Bruin newspaper, where she hosted a live weekly news and culture radio talk show and worked as a staff member in the radio department producing standalone NPR-style content. During her time at the Daily Bruin, Jonaki brought timely and interesting pitches to the table and always maintained a high quality of work. She’s very well versed in the realm of podcasts and has an obvious passion for radio journalism. Her years of hard work paid off when she was selected for the competitive Bridget O’Brien scholarship, which funds a large student journalism project every year. In 2015, her team traveled to India to report on the nonprofit Project RISHI, which provides services to Indian villages. The project was the first in the scholarship’s history to be reported principally in radio podcast form and photography rather than print. Since then, she’s expanded her experience in the role of Project Manager at Job Portraits, a storytelling agency that creates content for employer branding. In this role, Jonaki communicated with clients and interviewees, led interviews, and edited all outgoing content. While working together on a large project called “Digital Campus” for client Sequoia Capital, which involved interviewing engineers at high-growth startups, I was always impressed at how prepared she was with the technical subject matter despite often having days of back-to-back interviews. A solid communicator and an extremely easy person to work with, Jonaki will always give her complete attention to producing quality content. She isn’t afraid to tackle difficult subjects and will thrive in an environment where she can continue putting her interview skills to work."
