Hi Guys! As you can see from my blog my name is Katie Nichols! I am a senior, public relations major within the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication. This year has been really exciting so far because this is the first year of my 4 + 1 accelerated masters degree (I say exciting, but what I really mean is scared out of my mind.) When I finish my masters my dream job is to work in the entertainment industry. I have always loved reading and watching movies, so it seemed like the perfect career for me to go into (fingers crossed, I can make it happen!)
This summer was fun because I was an intern at RD Thomas Advertising in Lubbock Texas. For an in-depth look at my personality and what my internship was all about you can see my intern spotlight. This semester I am serving as the Assistant Public Relations Director for Lindsey and Asp, which is Gaylord’s student-run advertising and PR agency. This is my favorite program that Gaylord offers, because it offers hands-on experience and because it is run by a great group of students!
Beyond that the main thing to know about me is I am obsessed with Harry Potter. I have them practically memorized and can quote them as I type this on my Harry Potter decal covered computer and sip from my Hogwarts Coffee glass. My love of the Harry Potter series when I was younger led me to a life-long love of reading. I love books in any form I can get and when I am driving home to Lubbock, Texas, where I’m from, I listen to my audible account. My favorite books are fiction, while I love a true story, there is something magical about entering a world that’s entirely made up.
I hope this has given you a look into who I am! I’m an open book (see my pun?), so ask me anything you want! I am an eclectic soul and my favorite things in life are good friends and family. I will leave you with one of my favorite quotes from the movie and book, We Bought a Zoo. I hope it gives you the courage to step outside of your comfort zone!!
This is a partial quote from Benjamin Mee the author of We Bought a Zoo.
