Introducing: Lindsay

Hello world! This is Lindsay and I am one of the newest editions to the Keating Magee Internship Program. I am proud to say that I was born and experienced my adolescence in New Orleans, LA. After attending high school in Slidell, LA, I set my sights on Baton Rouge and becoming a Louisiana State University Tiger. Currently, I am about to enter my final undergraduate year at LSU as a students of the Manship School of Mass Communication with a concentration in public relations.

I started off my career pursuits on the news media side of communications. However after some exposure to the continuously heart wrenching circumstances journalists face, I decided a different side of the communications field might be my cup of tea.

After getting my feet wet during a few PR classes, I fell in love. Never before had I been so intrigued by the material presented in the classroom. So, in February I began my hunt for a summer internship and eventually found myself on the fifth floor of Jax Brewery at Keating Magee, one of the top public relations, advertising and marketing firms in New Orleans.

One of my passions is travel and the tourism industry, so you can imagine my excitement at the news that I was assigned to work with Ann Wills and the rest of the team on the Grand Opening of the Renaissance Hotel in Baton Rouge. Exposure to media lists, project boards and event planning has already proved to be a tremendous learning experience.

I enjoyed part of my first day at Keating Magee on the outside patio of Jax Brewery while feasting my eyes upon the glorious Mississippi River, listening to sweet sax tunes played by a local artist and enjoying the cool breeze coming off the river. I couldn’t be happier to be spending my summer in New Orleans at Keating Magee!
