SDSU Graduate Joins H&A Team For Summer/Fall Internship

Cecilia Zaccarelli, a recent graduate from San Diego State University, has joined Heying & Associates as an intern account coordinator. Heying & Associates is a full-service public relations agency located in midtown San Diego.

During her internship, Zaccarelli will be responsible for writing pitch letters and press releases, contacting clients, assisting with event coordination and managing social media accounts.

Zaccarelli is from Brazil and graduated from SDSU in May with a Bachelor`s Degree in Communications. She was the captain of the SDSU Swim and Dive Team and a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Prior to joining Heying & Associates, Zaccarelli was an intern at Athlete Network where she experienced guerrilla marketing, social media management, PR and was also responsible for writing sports-related articles.

Since Brazil is a really diverse culture, Zaccarelli has a different perspective about the world. She was there for the Olympic Games in 2016 and experienced the biggest international sports event where the entire world was celebrating together. According to her, it was a great opportunity for Brazil to forget about the political and economic problems and welcome the rest of the world with their delicious food, beautiful nature and enthusiastic people. When deciding where to go in the United States, the weather was a determinant factor. Zaccarelli has never seen snow before and has lived her entire life in the tropical weather, so she thought California would be a great fit. One thing she misses the most about Brazil is the typical homemade dish: rice, beans and Brazilian barbecue.

Zaccarelli plans to stay in San Diego and go to Graduate School. After that, she wants to pursue a career in marketing or public relations.

 

In her free time, Zaccarelli enjoys hiking, swimming and going to the beach.
