Bonjour! My name is Margaret Lohmann, and I consider myself to be a true New Orleanian. I was born and raised in this beautiful historic city, and find it almost impossible to leave. After graduating from the Isidore Newman School in Uptown, New Orleans, I began my undergraduate journey a few blocks away at Tulane University. As a typical college student, I found myself torn between joining the family business and pursuing a career in something I loved. My family is comprised of doctors, nurses, engineers, and science teachers. As a Cell and Molecular Biology Major, I felt a void in my life that prompted me to reconsider my future. I quickly changed to Communication, a major that had always solicited my interest. The courses offered to a Communication major immediately wet my appetite and kept me hungry for more knowledge.
Once I declared Communication as my major, I became a marketing intern at the Alliance for Affordable Energy. The company sells energy efficient appliances, while promoting a “greener” way of life. The internship allowed me to gain a better understanding of the marketing, advertising, and public relations field and cemented my interest in this field.
After receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Tulane University, I was given the opportunity to intern at Keating Magee, one of the top advertising, marketing, and public relations firms in New Orleans. I have been here for a month, and have already learned more than I would ever learn from a classroom. I have been included in conference calls and meetings, as well as attended business luncheons and fashion shows. Each morning I awake with a smile because I am able to spend the day at Keating Magee!
