Hi! I’m Sophia Marzka, a rising senior at the University of Pittsburgh studying Marketing with a minor in Philosophy and a certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. This summer I’m doing something I’ve been looking forward to for a long time, spending eight weeks in Seoul, South Korea as a Marketing Intern with ObzeKorea Inc. through Pitt’s International Internship Program.
