EMMA BOUSHIE
Marketing Intern
Emma is a junior at Bentley University studying Marketing with a double minor in Computer Information Systems and Information Design and Corporate Communications. She was introduced to content creation, graphic design, and brand strategy in Summer 2020, when she worked as the Surgical Marketing intern on the Ablation Brand team at Hologic, Inc. This allowed her to not only become familiar with how to communicate and create a strong team dynamic in a virtual setting, but gave her the opportunity to define her passion: developing new ideas to advance businesses potential through technology, design, and social media. Emma is driven by health and wellness, just recently completing her first team marathon, and is so excited for the “course” ahead of her.
