卡罗琳·冈萨雷斯

作为一个德州人, Caroline attended Loyola University 新奥尔良 to pursue academic and athletic excellence, receiving her BA in Mass Communication (2017). Drawing inspiration from her mother, who also attended a Jesuit university, Caroline embraced the Jesuit values of developing the whole person and the importance of servant-leadership.

She attended Loyola’s innovative School of Communication and Design to pursue professional sports reporting. Being challenged to think critically and quickly as cameras roll, while balancing a student-athlete’s schedule, began preparing her for a career in reporting. She fondly reflects on and appreciates the true impact Loyola had on her. The unique exposure to opportunities, 指导, and connections between Freret Street and Saint 查尔斯大街 have been invaluable to her personal and professional development to this day.

Caroline is a proud member of the Loyola 体育运动 Hall of Fame. She shares this honor with her 2013-2014 team, which made a quarterfinals appearance in the NAIA National Championship for only the second time in school history.

毕业后, Caroline began working for the 新奥尔良 Saints (NFL) and Pelicans (NBA) quickly growing into the role of the teams' full-time reporter while still balancing part-time work with 新奥尔良' WDSU-TV (NBC). Caroline credits Loyola with fostering a sense of higher purpose. This led her to shift her work from storytelling in sports to more socially impactful work on the public relations team for St. 裘德 Children's Research Hospital – ALSAC, w在这里 she informs the public and prospective donors on the lifesaving mission of St. 裘德.

在她的个人生活中, Caroline enjoys spending time with her family, getting out into nature and listening to podcasts while cooking or walking.
