How did you go from pre-med at Johns Hopkins to magazines?

I always thought about magazines and fashion as a very far-removed kind of thing. The summer between junior and senior year of college, before I took the MCATs, I was like, “I want a summer off.” So I applied to 20 internships, including one at Harper’s Bazaar.
