Your summer intern: Yoav Lurie
Another one of my Duke babies who is hoping to get a foot in the door at your agency!
Yoav Lurie is a Duke junior pursuing a degree in Public Policy Studies and a Markets and Management Studies certificate. Though he calls Los Angeles home, his adventures have taken him to far corners of the globe. He has worked for Salomon Smith Barney in Chicago, Congresswoman Grace Napolitano (D-CA) in Washington, DC, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and as a short-order cook at a kosher restaurant in Venice, Italy. A passionate jack-of-many-trades, Yoav is the founder of Camp Kesem at Duke (www.campkesem.org) a camp for the children of cancer patients in the Raleigh-Durham area, ran a student company at Duke, and has filed a patent with the USPTO. The former high-school wrestler has toured Spain with a university rugby team, talked his way into more than his share of “closed events” and knows that most bad situations will one day turn into good material. With all this in mind, it seemed obvious that advertising and media might just be for him; but no matter the direction his life takes, his path is sure to be both interesting and entertaining.
