We connected with our latest cohort of D+P interns for a quick Q&A session. Read on below to learn more about Jess, our Fall PR Intern!
Give us a little bit of background about yourself!
I’m a recent graduate from the University of Delaware with a degree in communications with a concentration in public relations. During my undergrad, I completed multiple public relations internships and got to do two semesters abroad as a UD World Scholar. I enjoy yoga, reading, and hanging out with my cat in my free time.
Describe yourself in three words.
I would describe myself as curious, persistent and adventurous.
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
Growing up, my favorite movie was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I wanted to follow in the footsteps of Willy Wonka and become a chocolatier. A lot has changed since then, but I still have a sweet tooth.
What’s something few people knew about you, but you wish they did?
I have a minor in insect and wildlife conservation! I’m passionate about environmental conservation and love learning about the ecology of different animals.
If you could give a piece of advice to your high school/younger self, what would it be?
I would tell my high school self that life gets better as you get older, so don’t be afraid of growing up.
