Turning passion into ‘The Daily Happy’
Sarah Bernick (‘26, public relations) didn’t plan to study PR, but now she can’t imagine doing anything else. After switching from interior design, she found a love for writing, storytelling, and connecting with people. That passion led her to create The Daily Happy, a podcast that shares small ways to find joy and reminds listeners they’re not alone. Through programs like Start Something LAS Academy and internships at NASA and Anthropologie, Bernick gained experience in communication, events, and leadership. Looking ahead, she hopes to grow her podcast and work in fashion PR, making a positive impact along the way.
