We’re excited to welcome Ali 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 have lived here most of my life. I am attending the University of Washington studying media and communications, and will be graduating this winter. I spend most of my free time with my family and friends, travelling, running and doing yoga. I love music, going to concerts, hiking, camping and exploring new places.

There are a lot of PR agencies out there, why did you pick Revolution?
I wanted to find a PR agency to work for that valued the same things that are important to me. When I read about Revolution and the companies they work with, I knew that I shared the same values for wellness, fashion, health and an overall happy lifestyle. Working for an agency who works with clients and products I can be passionate about promoting is extremely rewarding. The positive and upbeat work environment and emphasis on building lasting client relationships is something that really drew me to Revolution as well. I knew this was the place for me!

What attracted you to pursue PR as a career?
I have always been very social and had an ability to relate to a wide variety of people. I enjoy being able to find new ways to reach varieties of audiences, and figure out what attracts people to do the things that they do. PR has given me the opportunity to combine my creativity, passion for writing and natural love of people in a way that constantly challenges me and teaches me something new every day.

We’re an agency of self-proclaimed wellness junkies! What is your favorite trend in the wellness space right now?
Something that I continue to love is hot yoga. Hot yoga is amazing because it combines a great workout with a space to calm your mind, reset and refocus. I am also really enjoying how the natural beauty market is really starting to grow in size. I love being able to use products that make you feel and look great without having to worry about harsh chemicals.

Is there a workout that you're loving right now?
I have always loved running. When I get the opportunity though my favorite workout is spending time in nature through hiking or backpacking. There is something really special about getting outside and away from the noises of the city, and it feels so rewarding to get done with a long hike!

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?
I am loving the Align pant from Lululemon. They are definitely the most comfortable leggings I have ever worn!

If you had to choose one thing that you are the most passionate about, what would it be and why?
I am the most passionate about the people in my life. I am naturally outgoing, so I am inspired and motivated the most by my friends and family. Building strong relationships with the people I love is extremely important to me.
