Mardi Gras

The mentoring program at Loyola has really helped me learn new things about the business world. I have learned many things about business communications from my mentors. One thing I have learned from my mentors is that it takes a person 3-5 times to remember something. It could be anything from a person's name to details of a business plan. Another thing I have learned is that marketing is a key way to communicate with a business's target market. Through marketing you are able to depict to your target market what your company is about.

I always knew I wanted to have a job doing something with marketing. Through the mentor program, I have found out that marketing is what I was made to do! I also have a deep love for fashion and if I put the both together I find my perfect job! I would absolutely love to do marketing with Saks Fifth Avenue in New Orleans. It really would be my dream job and I feel I would do my job very well. Also I am able to stay home and help rebuild NOLA!

I am from New Orleans, born and raised, so I have been to my fair share of Mardi Gras parades. I love Mardi Gras. This Mardi Gras I would love to experience the parades like I always have and I want to have a good time! I would like to avoid obnoxious drunk people and harmful activity like shootings ( I don't think anyone wants to be present during a shooting).

Mardi Gras is important to New Orleans because it is a big part of the culture and the identity. New Orleans is a city based around traditions and its rich culture. New Orleans would be very different without Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is also a big tourist event which helps our city make money and rebuild. Mardi Gras season is not just a time to get highly intoxicated but also a time to appreciate everything the city is made of and everything the locals love and value.
