The weather is warming up and the sandals are coming out of hiding. The summer season is upon us, and that also means we get to welcome our interns!
At 3E Public Relations, we look forward to working with new interns every year because it gives us the opportunity to help educate the next gen workforce, while also learning from their fresh ideas. In public relations and social media in particular, great ideas and enlightening perspectives can come from someone of any age. Our interns have the opportunity to work alongside seasoned professionals and dedicated client account teams to get valuable experience that can help them get their foot in the door somewhere after graduation.
We are pleased to introduce our summer ’24 interns, Rena and Liv, who both intrigued and impressed our 3E PR team during their interview process. With extensive education in PR and related marcom studies at their respective schools, we expect Rena and Liv to bring great work and insights to the table for each account they work on this summer.
Check out our Q&A’s with Rena and Liv below to learn a little about the new additions to the 3E PR team.

Where do you go to college and what is your major?
Villanova University, Majoring in Communications with a concentration in Advertising and PR and a minor in marketing
What course has been your favorite and why?
My favorite course at Villanova that I’ve taken was “Magical Saints and Sinners”.

I am considering pursuing an English minor as I have always loved to read and write, so this class was a fun exploration of English alongside historical texts.

I believe that PR is a very underrated necessity to every business. Many people don’t understand how much of an impact PR can make on brand awareness, brand identity, and cohesion of the business.

I see it as a fast paced, interesting, and fun possible career option!
