Introducing: Caroline

Caroline Nawas here, coming to you from the 5th floor of Jax Brewery. To my right, I have the beautiful and always entertaining French Quarter and to my left, the mighty and powerful Mississippi River. I know what you’re thinking. It is 1:00 p.m. on a Tuesday. I should be at work, slaving, I mean interning away. Lucky for me, I work at Keating Magee, where the view is beautiful and the interns are treated as equal co-workers.

I grew up in Bossier City, LA and knew at a young age I was destined to be a LSU Tiger and a world-famous journalist. After completing my freshman year at LSU, I realized that taking the world by storm as a journalist was not for me. I loved writing, but I was also interested in all aspects of the communications field. I knew I could not limit myself to just one area. After doing thorough research, I learned that public relations embodied all of the things I was passionate about. It took just one PR class for me to fall in love. I felt that everything inside of me just clicked. And to my parents’ relief, I will be graduating next May from the Manship School of Mass Communications with a concentration in Public Relations.

I knew that finding an internship for this summer was crucial for my college career. I had some experience beforehand in the communications field, but never with an agency. In March, I visited Keating Magee to meet with D.A. Magee and other employees to discuss the internship opportunity. The feeling I got reminded me of my first PR class; it all just clicked.

Although this is only my second day, I already know that this summer I will be challenged, taught and included on experiences that will enable me to grow in my knowledge and become more experienced in the public relations and marketing field.

It will be a summer to remember and I can’t wait to share my stories with you!
