What's your sign?
Right on the border of Aquarius and Capricorn, varies with each magazine/publication.
If you had one meal left on Earth, what would it be?
Chicken wings (medium sauce) - is that a meal?
Tim Hortons or Starbucks?
Timmies! Large double double and bagel BELT everyday.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Happy? Is that super cliché? I would also love to be a hip hop dancer- in a crew or something.
What's the best part about being an intern at Saatchi?
Having the opportunity to work on various projects with real responsibility. Also, working with the amazing people at the agency!

What’s your sign?
My sign? Like my gang sign? Sorry to say I have no gang affiliation. I am however a member of the Leo tribe. Although I must say I never read my horoscope.
What’s the most random thing about you?
Random…..that is a tough question to answer. Most people don’t expect me to be someone who plays guitar and sings so I guess that would have to be it. Unless you count roof climbing random, because that is pretty fun.
What’s your favourite meal?
Ever since I was a kid, I have asked for Shake’n’Bake pork chops with scalloped potatoes on my birthday, so I would have to go with that.
Cats or dogs?
Dogs for sure. Cats have never liked me, and my golden Sawyer actually enjoys my company, unlike my best friends cat Nala who hisses at me every opportunity she gets.
What's the best part about being an intern at Saatchi?
The best part about being an intern at Saatchi is the talented and grounded individuals that you get to work with. Many of the employees here have a large wealth of experience and knowledge and are open to sharing it all with you.
Marie Richer has joined the agency this summer as our Creative Intern. Originally from Ottawa, Marie has spent the last few years in Barcelona studying and working.

Which pop ballad best describes your life?
The Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston
What's the most random thing about you?
I overuse exclamation points!!!!!!!! And emoticons :D ;) :0
If you could meet someone dead or alive, who would it be?
30th president of the United States Calvin Coolidge because of all the puns I could make with his last name when retelling the story. e.g. "that Calvin was really playing it Coolidge ;)" That's only one of the endless possibilities. I would become very popular from this joke.
If you had one meal left on Earth, what would it be?
Appetizer: Foie gras w/toasted gingerbread
Main: Surf and Turf but duck confit instead of steak. Sooo lobster and duck confit. That's cheating I know because that's two things.
Dessert: Creme Brulee
Who's your role model?
Susan Richer (Mom)
What's the best part about being an intern at Saatchi?
Being around so many funny, interesting people all day. Playing it Coolidge, if you will.
