ABOUT CAROLINE
STORIES

Caroline Prado graduated from California State Polytechnic Pomona, where she majored in communication and minored in marketing management. Before arriving at St. Pete, Caroline completed her final issue of the campus newspaper, The Poly Post, where she served as editor in chief and grew many white hairs while simultaneously uncovering her love for journalism. Caroline is a member of the AAJA and SPJ California Chapters and a newcomer to Florida. She said that although she’s used to the sun’s wicked heat in the west, there’s no comparison to Florida’s exhausting humidity. But she is ready to take on the summer’s challenges and the many things she will learn from journalism’s best at The Poynter Institute.
