And don't forget me - Susan! Since my freshman year of college, I've lived in many interesting places: Boulder, Dallas and Madrid - all amazing cities! But there's no place like New Orleans. This summer I decided it was time to say goodbye to the Big D and hello to the Big Easy. If I have learned anything from this process it's that you can network anywhere. In fact, that is how I ended up here at Keating Magee. One day I struck up a conversation with a customer who I noticed was wearing a uniform from a local all-girls school. Being a graduate from the rival school I couldn't help, but say hello. As our conversation took its course I found out she was a native to New Orleans and knew of several firms with summer intern programs, including Keating Magee. I spent the last few weeks of my Spring semester discussing internship opportunities with D.A. Magee until I finally got the good news one afternoon while sitting in Spanish class!
I am now wrapping up my third week and can't believe how many deadlines are approaching! Since my first day here I have been working on the UnitedHealthcare Childrens Foundation golf tournament. The golf tournament will be followed by a live auction and raffle to raise additional funds for the Foundation. The Foundation will use proceeds to help families or individuals pay for therapies, treatments, or services not covered by commercial health insurance. The donation list for the first tournament, which is held in Birmingham, AL will be completed by next week! Last week I also had the opportunity to work on the set of Community Health Heroes, a pubic access show also presented by UnitedHealthcare.
Sometimes I feel like its more play and less work with all the festivals in this city. Last weekend Oyster Fest (Yum!) was held on the Jax Brewery parking lot & this weekend is Vieux-To-Do. Stay tuned for pictures!
