What are your hobbies? My hobbies include hanging out with my friends, keeping up with the news, learning foreign languages, working (I LOVE making money), and anything that has to do with public relations!
 What languages do you speak? I speak three languages, Croation, Italian, and English, of course. I actually lived in Italy for three years, between three and six years old. That’s how I picked up Italian.
 How are you involved on campus? Well, I was part of Pulse. I worked in the advertising department and was a contributing writer. Last semester, I was a contributing writer for Long Island Report. I am also a PRSSA member. Although I’m a Journalism major, I came to realize that my passion is public relations.
What is your dream job? My dream job is working for either an international or fashion public relations firm. However, I will keep my mind open and try out different kinds of PR.
 Where do you see yourself in 10 years? In 10 years I see myself opening my own PR firm based in either Los Angeles or New York, maybe even both!
