Caitlin Christopher is a Texan, born and bred. She was a dancer growing up, but now she’s a recent graduate of SMU, from the prestigious Temerlin Advertising Institute, with a major in advertising (and a minor in Spanish).

While in school, Caitlin completed an internship at The Richards Group, focusing in account planning. She also spent a summer studying abroad and visited Mother UK, Naked, Pentagram and Tribal DDB London. With that background, experience and eagerness to continue learning, Caitlin bested many other qualified candidates to earn the coveted Launch internship gig.

Caitlin may be an account service intern, but we tested her creative thinking with a round of Q&A.

Q: Paper or plastic?
A: Paper.

Q: Favorite nail polish color?
A: Fiji – by Essie.

Q: If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
A: Greece. I’ve just always wanted to go there.

Q: What’s your favorite website?
A: Does Google Reader count?

Q: What do you want to get out of your internship at Launch?
A: I want to better understand the management side of advertising because my prior internship focused on account planning.

Q: What’s your favorite place in Dallas to get take-out?
A: Green Papaya. It’s like Vietnamese food, on Cedar Springs. Or Eatzi’s. (Eatzi’s, a former Launch client, is on Oak Lawn).

Q: What’s your favorite flower?
A: Stargazer lilies.

Q: What do you do in your free-time?
A: I dance a lot — in the car, sometimes walking down the street. Then I catch myself and realize other people can see me.

When she’s not dancing to a meeting, Caitlin is quietly tapping her feet under her desk.

Welcome to Launch, Caitlin.
