Hi, I'm Brooke Bell, an associate communications strategist at Textron Systems in New Orleans, LA.Although communications is my career, I've never viewed communications as merely a "career choice." For me, it's been a lifelong passion. When I was five years old, I knew that I wanted to become a writer. In my free time, I would draw pictures and write my own fiction books. As I grew older, I wrote essays and participated in creative writing contests. Needless to say, once I decided to attend Louisiana State University, I knew I would be a mass communications major! What I didn't know was that mass communications was so much more than writing. Making that discovery was where my passion became love.In college, I learned about social media management, PR, graphic design, journalism and so many other forms of communication. Not only did it strengthen my writing, but it taught me how to communicate on a wide variety of mediums. Now, as a Fall 2023 graduate of LSU, I'm starting my professional career in an industry I love deeply.
