Sharon Guynup is the internship coordinator at SHERP, and as such is responsible for assisting students in finding science journalism internships and supervising their work in for-credit internships. All SHERP students must complete at least one internship, and most complete two. Sharon also works closely with graduating students to assist them in their search for full-time work in science journalism. A freelance writer and editor, Sharon released her first book last year, State of the Wild 2006: A Global Portrait of Wildlife, Wildlands, and Oceans. She has written and edited on science and the environment for nationalgeographic.com, The New York Times Syndicate, Scientific American, Popular Science, Audubon, Wildlife Conservation, and other publications. She graduated with an MA from NYU’s SHERP Program in 1999. Prior to that, she worked as a photojournalist, traveling globally, and lived in Turkey for year on a Fulbright Fellowship.
