Tell us a little bit about your background: I am from a tiny town in Western Massachusetts, but I moved to Boston two years ago to attend Boston University. Currently, I am a junior in the College of Communications studying PR and English. This past spring I completed an internship at the Boston Symphony Orchestra press office, which was very important to me since I spent 15 years studying the violin. When I’m not in class, I serve on the executive board of my sorority.
What attracted you to BIGfish? Initially, I was attracted to BIGfish because of its size and charisma. The atmosphere created by a close-knit team of smart professionals is truly something special and I feel privileged to be a part of it.
