About Riya Gupta

Hello! I am a senior at the University of Southern California majoring in Business of Cinematic Arts and pursuing my MS in Marketing Analytics. Driven by a love for storytelling and a fascination with how stories evolve from idea to screen, I am working toward a career in content development for film and television to bring stories that resonate with audiences to life.During my internships at ShinAwil, ACE Entertainment, Paramount/Nickelodeon, and Warner Bros./New Line Cinema, I wrote coverage on scripts and novels, created pitch decks, participated in creative meetings, and researched talent and market trends. At USC, I am a passionate member of the Trojan family and have served in leadership positions for Marshall Student Ambassadors, the Marshall Entertainment Association, and within the student assistants at SCA\'s Office of Industry Relations.What I bring to creative development is a unique combination of narrative intuition and an analytical mindset. With a strong creative instinct and experience inside major entertainment pipelines, I’m excited to contribute to teams that are redefining what inclusive, globally resonant storytelling looks like. I’m eager to grow within a development environment where I can learn from the best, contribute meaningfully, and build toward a career as a creative executive.
