Roth Santos

Name: Roth Santos

LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/rothsantos

Hometown: Seekonk, MA

Tell us a little bit about your background: I’m a senior Public Relations major at Suffolk University. I started my internship experience in public media, working for GBH and PBS. Interested in a more creative role at a smaller company, I became the social media marketing intern at Rocketbook Inc. I like working with companies who have a strong sense of purpose and actively seek to make the world a better place. 

What attracted you to BIGfish? After being exposed to the fast-paced and creative world of start-up marketing with Rocketbook, I sought internships in the tech and start-up industry. BIGfish caught my eye because of their small size, incredible location and past experience with brands I really respect. 

Describe yourself in 5 words: Persistent. Self-advocate. Funny. Weird. 

What’s your favorite food?: Chocolate

What do you hope to accomplish in this internship?: I’ve never worked for a PR agency before, so just orienting myself to the pace, workload and collaboration involved with that is an exciting endeavor. In my past marketing roles I didn’t gain much media relations experience either, so honing that skill set will be important. Lastly, I hope to gain a better understanding of the tech industry, and get a grasp for where PR can address some of its big issues. 

Anything else we should know about you?: I love upcycling and thrifting. 90% of my clothes are from second-hand stores, and 90% of the furniture in my apartment I found on the streets of Boston. Impressively (or embarrassingly, depending how you see it) I’ve started to memorize the various trash pick-up schedules for different Boston neighborhoods.
