Hometown: Monroe, NY 
Tell us a little bit about your background: I’m in my third year at Boston University studying Public Relations and Sociology. In addition to running social media accounts for different clubs on campus, I spent the summer of 2019 working at the national headquarters of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention with their in-house communications team in New York City. I’m excited to explore the agency world and the tech industry with BIGfish this semester!  
What attracted you to BIGfish? BIGfish offered the perfect combination of a small team and big clients. I knew I wouldn’t get lost in the shuffle of a larger agency, but I would also be working with interesting and influential companies. I was impressed by the opportunities for real hands-on learning experiences and involvement in all aspects of the job. The location and beautiful office is just a bonus!
Describe yourself in 5 words: Organized, efficient, thoughtful, dedicated, and positive.
What’s your favorite food?: This might be the most New York thing I’ve ever said, but nothing beats a bacon, egg, and cheese with salt, pepper, and ketchup on a sesame bagel. 
What do you hope to accomplish in this internship?: I hope to grow more comfortable with pitching media professionals and communicating on behalf of clients in the real world. 
Anything else we should know about you?: I love music! I have hosted five different shows and served on the executive board for BU’s student-run radio station, WTBU. If I’m not at work, in class, or in the studio, you can find me at concert venues all over Boston!
