Hello! My name is Venice and I am a senior majoring in journalism with an emphasis in public relations at San Diego State University. When I am not busy with school, you can find me curled up with a book, eating, or browsing my latest obsession: Pinterest. I seem to have a love-hate relationship with the gym, but I find that yoga and spinning classes keep me sane when life gets too hectic. Olive’s eclectic list of clients, from fashion to nonprofit, keeps me busy and interested in my work at the office. While I find the prospect of graduating in a few months somewhat terrifying, I am confident that my time spent as an intern at Olive will help me prepare for the real world of PR.

Hello! I’m Sandra and I am one of the public relations interns. I’m currently a senior at San Diego State University, studying public relations and Spanish. I was born and raised in San Diego, I’m a TV show junkie, I love chocolate chip cookies and meeting new people. I am so excited to intern for Olive PR Solutions because they are as passionate about working with organizations that make a difference in the community as I am! I can’t wait to learn more about the firm, the industry and develop the skills to become a great public relations professional.
