Meet Catherine Klein, our Marketing Intern!

Catherine is a senior at SD State studying Entrepreneurial Studies with minors in Marketing and Advertising. She’s also involved on campus as the Events Assistant Pooba for the Hobo Day Committee, President of State A Thon, Social Media Manager for the Green Bandana Project, and an ambassador for the Ness School of Management and Economics.

Her Brookings favorites include Wooden Legs Brewing Company and Trendz, and her perfect day would involve a coffee downtown, a walk through McCrory Gardens, some pickleball, and ending the night with trivia at Wooden Legs.

Catherine especially enjoys connecting with the Brookings community and sharing the stories of the people who make it such a great place to be!
