As a Public Relations Apprentice at Prosek Partners, I explore the fast-paced, globalized, and ever-changing world of public relations.
In the past, I gained experience through multiple internships in PR, marketing, journalism, and logistics fields in New York, Boston, London, and Kyiv.
I worked with fintech start-ups, food-related corporations, b2b tech clients, entertainment, non-profits, both in an agency and in-house settings.
I graduated summa cum laude from Boston University with B.S. in Communications, emphasis in Public Relations and concentration in International Relations.
