Scholar Background

Ever since she was given the chance to edit her high school paper, Caroline has known she wanted to work in the media industry. As an economics and political science major at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Caroline has also developed a keen interest in the economic forces currently shaping the world. She has written extensively for the State and National Desk of the Daily Tar Heel, reporting on everything from the presidential primaries to the UNC system. She also spent the 2009 summer interning for the Washington, DC-based news website, the Daily Caller. At Chapel Hill, Caroline participates in the Public Service Scholar program and enjoys staying involved with her sorority, Alpha Delta Pi. In the fall of 2009, she traveled to Cape Town, South Africa in order to study African development and South African history. She also interned with Black Sash, a human rights nongovernmental organization.

Internship Highlight

As the Steamboat Scholar at Bloomberg News, Caroline wrote for the Stocks Team and was featured multiple times on Bloomberg's Top Worldwide page. She also shared a byline in Bloomberg Businessweek magazine and spent several weeks working on the production team for the Bloomberg Surveillance and Bloomberg on the Economy radio programs.
