Stephanie Rendon
Account Coordinator, Washington, D.C.
Stephanie Rendon was a Fenton intern during the summer of her senior year at Florida International University, where she recently completed her B.A. in mass communications and journalism. She returned to Fenton to work with the political team and provide support for the global issues team. She brings with her, three years of international development, human rights and digital experience and has worked with such Fenton clients as the Republic of Ecuador, Farmworker Justice and Moveon.org.
Prior to working at Fenton, Rendon studied abroad in Seville, Spain, where she designed and developed an online magazine for her team’s final project. Among other things, she produced a multimedia package analyzing locals’ varying opinions about local bullfighting events. The package tackled various views including bullfighting’s historic ties to culture, as well as the animal cruelty involved. Rendon’s passion for human rights led her to intern at the International Rescue Committee in Miami, where she assisted caseworkers in case management.
Rendon interned at NBCMiami, where she gained expertise in local news operations and became the Ethnic editor for her school’s online newspaper, The Miami Desk. After completing the internship, she was hired by a local newspaper as a general assignment reporter. Her work was published in The Miami Planet, a production made by the University of Miami, Florida International University and Miami Dade College for the Society of Environmental Journalists Conference.
