Introducing: Alexia

Even though you are most likely to encounter bizarre sights on the streets of New Orleans’ French Quarter, I don’t think the city was expecting a Paraguayan 21-year-old scuttling around at 9:00 am, trying to find parking among the NFL kick-off festivity preparations, making her way to her first day of work; that was me last week. Day One at Keating Magee-- and it couldn’t have been on a more excellent day.

Currently a Communications Senior at Loyola University, with a minor in Creative Writing, I transferred from the home land – Paraguay – my sophomore year and haven’t looked back since. Moving to New Orleans has included falling in love with Uptown’s canopies and street cars, and being utterly confused by the city’s bizarre fascination for beads, and even more so by the frenzy that is Mardi Gras. If I could sum up my transition from South American small town to North American Who Dat Nation, I would have to say it’s been quite the exhilarating ride.

Although I have had professional experiences in the past, working at a Marketing Agency in Paraguay, interning for the School of Mass Communication at Loyola, and completing my summer internship at the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce, now I am starting at Keating Magee and I am excited to start from scratch in my new office overlooking the river. I look forward to joining this team and proving myself as a worthy asset.
