Emily Ratner

Los Angeles

Summary

I am a junior at Syracuse University, majoring in Psychology with a minor in Public Communications at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. With a passion for the entertainment industry and talent representation, I bring strong communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills, complemented by a strategic and resourceful mindset. My academic background in psychology has trained me to analyze situations objectively and make informed decisions. My studies in public relations have honed my ability to build relationships, collaborate effectively, and develop impactful communication strategies.

Growing up in Los Angeles has introduced me to the entertainment industry and inspired me to purse a career in the field; specifically sparking my curiosity of the business behind the scenes. My previous work experiences, including internships at RappAround PR and American High furthered my interest in the world of entertainment and strengthened my ability to manage relationships, create content, and contribute to successful campaigns. Volunteering with the Kevin Love Fund, I have cultivated a passion for creating meaningful change in communities and education. I am now seeking work opportunities to contribute to my growth and success in the entertainment field.
