Scholar Background

Brenna is currently pursuing a degree in Advertising and Marketing Management at Syracuse University. Though she was always attracted to media and customer service, it was not until college that she realized her passion for branding, social research, and the communications industry as a whole. In addition to her academic coursework, she works on campus as a Student Supervisor for Student Centers and Programming Services where she has the opportunity to interact with the diverse student body and a variety of different organizations. Brenna has been involved with numerous organizations including OrangeSeeds: First-Year Leadership Empowerment program, the Student Leadership Institute, and the American Marketing Association. She also serves as a peer adviser to incoming freshman in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. In her free time, she can be found in the midst of a good book, film, or conversation.

Brenna is honored to have been chosen to intern at WABC/WPLJ and feels privileged to be able to spend her summer among such an incredible group of distinguished leaders.
