Profile

Here is a profile of me written by friend and Journalism classmate, Emma Elizabeth:

Caroline Mendez was born in Toronto and moved to Cambridge, Ontario when she was five years old. A career in journalism has been a goal she has had for years. As a child, Caroline idolized Lois Lane of Superman and thought that her job as a tough-as-nails journalist was extremely fascinating. Since then she has decided to work towards a career in print journalism.“There will always be a story to write about or something happening in the world that needs reporting on,” she says. Print journalism is interesting because reporters have the ability to expose the truth that has potential to reach the whole world.

In her new blog, she will examine the latest celebrity scandals and crimes. She will then compare similarities and differences with current crime stories. Caroline says her blog will dig deeper into the minds of stars “to see if these celebrities have some kind of an influence on, say teens who drive under the influence.”

In her spare time, Caroline likes to read, sing, write, and shop. Writing is something she puts a lot of time into and she is always practicing her skills and techniques. Caroline has been singing since she was about three or four years old and over the years has participated in many talent shows and special performances. Her favourite snack is fresh fruit and vegetables as she considers herself a healthy food fanatic (but she has been known to enjoy a few Doritos). Caroline is currently working towards her honours in Journalism and Contemporary studies at Wilfrid Laurier University in Brantford. Her dream job would be traveling to cover entertainment or investigative news stories for an international newspaper.

I couldn't have said it better myself! Be sure to check out her blog, "The Plaster of Paris".
