Hello!
My name is Lauren Peugeot, and I am the incoming 2026 Public Relations (PR) Intern for Sonnhalter. In the fall, I will begin my third year at The Ohio State University, where I am pursuing my Bachelor of Arts in Strategic Communication and minoring in Pharmaceutical Science. I am also working towards obtaining a Strategic Sales Certificate to complete my degree. Through both my coursework and extracurricular activities at Ohio State, I have developed a passion for creativity, marketing, and building lasting relationships with the individuals I work with.
At Ohio State, in addition to maintaining a busy academic schedule, I am engaged in social and leadership aspects of campus culture. Currently, I am an active member of the Sigma Kappa chapter of Kappa Delta, where I serve on council as the Vice President of Recruitment & Marketing. Within this role, I have taken on responsibilities such as delegating marketing content and managing PR-related initiatives for optimized recruiting efforts while maintaining Kappa Delta’s core philanthropic values.
Another role I hold is working as a Research Assistant for the Ohio State School of Communication. In this position, I help facilitate relationships with lab directors and assist research participants in successfully completing studies so that the collected data can contribute to new findings of communication styles. The study I specifically work on examines how utilizing different media channels affects personal relationships, which has further expanded my interest in public relations.
I am from Mayfield, Ohio, about 25 minutes northeast of downtown Cleveland. Besides academics and extracurriculars, I enjoy staying active and spending time with friends and family. One sport I especially enjoy is volleyball, and I play on an intramural volleyball team at Ohio State. Activities like this have taught me the importance of teamwork, communication, and adaptability, which are qualities that will hopefully benefit me throughout my time interning and learning more at Sonnhalter.
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to join the team this summer and become part of such a welcoming and supportive company culture. I am excited to “connect the pipes” between public relations and marketing with the B2T mindset and gain firsthand experience with all “the nuts and bolts” of the industry. Through this opportunity I hope to build new relationships, contribute to the team, and make the most of this internship with Sonnhalter.
