Hi! My name is Lia Barteet and I am a Senior here at Temple in Philadelphia, PA. As a transfer student I started my academic journey at Temple University last spring. Although I was a Junior I didn’t feel I was ready for an internship so I worked hard in my advertising classes, participated in Temple’s student run agency, Allotrope, while attending Temple Advertising Club meetings, and finally attended Klein’s virtual career fair. At the virtual career fair I met Ann Gray. I ended up getting an interview with Harmelin Media and was offered an internship on their Search Engine…

Many advertising agencies, from the smallest of boutique styles in the smallest midwest town you can think of all the way to the big guns on Madison Ave, position themselves as the “cool guys”. Some are even as daring to say, “We don’t hire sh*t heads,” but there’s no way to really know that until you step into the office and experience it first hand. This past semester I interned at Brian Communications, a strategic communications firm sitting high on Broad Street. Brian was that standard for the culture I was looking for. Since my first day, I realized what…

Since Klein allowed me to start my own TV show, I have a background in TV production (specifically videography), but not so much in photography. But still here…

My process of working with REC Philly has blossomed throughout the time I’ve been there.

My first experience as a Photo Assistant with Pushnik Photo Ever since I received my first SLR for high school graduation, the affinity I developed for capturing moments of life on camera was born. I began to realize that photography provided an eye into the unique interpretation every individual has of the world, and this was fascinating to me.
