Adrienne Mazzone, President at the firm, oversees on a daily basis, what work is being done and ensures that they are learning from each task. When a student completes their internship, they leave with a feel for hands on experience by “out of classroom” career type setting and knowledge of the PR business.

Each student builds hands on experience, portfolio bragging and skills to build their future.
