We’re excited to welcome Zaina to our team as one of our talented fall/winter interns! Learn a little more about her in the interview below.

Tell us a little about yourself.
I was born and raised in Seattle and moved to Lebanon for college. I graduated from the American University of Beirut in June with a degree in Media and Communication. I adore learning new languages and right now, I am working on my Arabic and French. I usually spend my free time travelling, working out, reading a good book, and spending time with my family and friends.

There are a lot of PR agencies out there, why did you pick Revolution?
While job hunting, I came across Revolution and knew it was the place for me. The team has such a positive, upbeat energy that I could not resist.  Everyone at Revolution is clearly passionate about what they do, which also drew me in. Being in a learning environment and being part of close-knit team that cares for each other, as well as its clients, is also extremely important to me, and I found that here at Revolution.

What attracted you to pursue PR as a career?
I have always had a passion for building relationships with people and connecting with others, which is why I love PR. I love understanding why people do the things they do and what influences them. The challenge of telling creative, influential stories excites me, which is why I wanted to pursue a career in PR. Being able to put a spin on everything, whether its the pitch, the press release, or the social media content, inspires me to constantly think outside the box.

We’re an agency of self-proclaimed wellness junkies! What is your favorite trend in the wellness space right now?
My favorite workout right now is spinning. Being able to control the resistance levels on the bike allows me to push myself to new horizons, bigger and better than the day before. Being surrounded by other motivated spinners in the class really motivates me too. Plus, you get to enjoy good music and break a sweat!

Is there a workout that you’re loving right now?
I definitely love spending time outside. I make sure to spend at least 45 minutes outside everyday, whether I am walking, jogging, or biking.  Spending some time out in nature each day is so refreshing and it reminds me how beautiful our earth really is. It helps me maintain my wellness/balance and clear my mind as well.

One of our biggest motivations when it comes to exercise is being able to sport cute active wear! Is there a specific item that you’re particularly obsessed with these days?
Yoga pants are my favorite piece of active wear. They come in so many fun colors and styles, so they never get boring. I have bright blue yoga pants, ones with polka dots, some with floral prints, and more with crazy designs. It's always fun to spice up your workout gear with fun leggings!

If you had to choose one thing that you are most passionate about, what would it be and why?
Learning about new cultures is my passion. I live for traveling to new places and connecting with people from all over the world. Trying new foods, listening to music in different languages, and learning about different traditions are all aspects of what makes me most passionate about traveling. My love for adventure is why I decided to move across the world for college. Travelling never ceases to excite me!
