Get to Know DRP Summer Intern, Lucia Catanese
What was your first job/internship, and what did you learn from it?
The first internship I had was helping out on a political campaign. I was originally just working with some of the managers/other interns in the office. But later I got a bunch of opportunities to actually have conversations with the congresswoman herself. It was really rewarding to learn more about that environment as well as working with tons of women who were running the campaign.
What are you looking forward to during this internship?
I am looking forward to working for a woman CEO/founder, I think that’s a really neat experience. As well as also being introduced to the world of graphic design, etc.
What are a few things you love doing outside of work?
Outside of work I really like to go for walks, I walk 2 miles every day. I also really enjoy reading, especially Greek mythology at the moment. I definitely enjoy shopping with my friends as well.
What’s a goal you have for yourself this year
A goal I have this year is to get to 100 volunteer hours (I’m currently at 65 hours), and also to make straight As in school.
What’s a social media trend or brand you’re currently loving?
A social media trend I am really into at the moment is all of the Love Island memes and clips going around. It really reminds me of last summer when it was also trending.
