Hi everyone! My name is Peyton Elaine and today is my first day as a new PR intern for Keating Magee. I am originally from Ruston, Louisiana, but for college, I decided I needed a change and moved 8 hours away from home to Norman, Oklahoma to attend the University of Oklahoma. Boomer Sooner! I am about to start my senior year at OU in the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communications as a Professional Writing major minoring in Italian. I'm sure most of you are wondering what a Professional Writing major is doing at a marketing firm with a PR internship. At OU, we have a lot of general requirements in our own colleges, like my journalism college, to give us a better understanding of the industry we have decided to go into. I have taken quite a few PR courses and have found that I really like PR. Being that my graduation date is fast approaching, I decided it was time to take the plunge and beg someone to give me some real work experience. This was extremely scary for me, so naturally I decided to go back home where my greatest support system is for this terrifying adventure. When this wonderful opportunity of a PR internship at Keating Magee presented itself, I thought why not?
I am very excited to be at Keating Magee since it is in New Orleans, one of my favorite cities, and so close to those closest to me. I'm really looking forward to getting started on my first project. So far I'm loving the new office and everyone has been so nice and helpful. Well I guess thats all for now. I will keep everyone updated on my progress here at Keating Magee and New Orleans. Wish me luck!
