THIBODAUX, La. — Lilly Benoit is a sophomore at Nicholls, majoring in marketing and business information systems. She is driven by her passion for graphic design, developing branding and reading books. 

Benoit will be joining us at The Nicholls Worth as our media manager. She plans to push the limit, presenting vibrant, community-centered content to our social media platforms.

After a chance opportunity with Canal & Main Realty, Benoit has found media management to be a creative outlet. She finds fulfillment through her work and continues to develop and hone her craft.

Even so, her desire to learn and grow does not stop at media management and graphic design.

“Personally, once I realized that there are no real limits to what you can learn, I started taking courses outside of Nicholls,” Benoit said. “I now have my realtor’s license, and I’m also going to pursue a Notary license. Our ability as humans to learn is truly something you should never take for granted.”

The gift of knowledge, tied together with bold vocalization of what one has learned, inspires Benoit greatly.

“Greta Thunberg is inspiring for being only two years older than me, but she is making a huge global impact with her voice despite massive backlash,” Benoit said.

All in all, Benoit has learned to face any obstacle through her persistent work and adaptability. Keep an eye out once you begin seeing outstanding media cross your screen—you’ll know she’s kicked off on The Nicholls Worth’s social media.
