Hello! My name is Grace Koester and I am an MBA candidate with a concentration in entrepreneurship at Rochester Institute of Technology. 

I am a native of Eden, NY, a small town south of Buffalo. I grew up on a farm, raising livestock and growing crops, and was president of my local 4-H club. I was an athlete from a young age, competing in gymnastics, field hockey, cheerleading, and track, and field. 

I started my higher education at RIT in 2014. During my time at RIT, I was involved in Greek life, holding the role of President for my sorority, Alpha Sigma Alpha. I was also a member of the RIT cheerleading team, holding the role of captain in my junior and senior years. During my time as captain, the team attended the NCA National College Cheerleading competition in Daytona, Florida.

Noah the Sharp-eyed Digital Marketer!

Greetings, and welcome to this! Noah D. Blankenship is the name I proudly sport. With my Deaf eyes, I regard myself as a sharp-eyed digital marketer with versatile successes. I arrived at Rochester Institute of Technology in Fall 2015, with no idea what I wanted to pursue. I started as an accounting major in Spring 2016, which ended after my first and last accounting internship. I realized that I was too much of a “people person” to stay in a cubicle for hours a week. 

Following that internship, I studied abroad in Zagreb, Croatia, for four months. There, I had many adventures with my study abroad group, and I realized that a Business Management major would be a better fit for me. I did not declare my minor until my second to last semester in my undergraduate studies. Advertising and Public Relations were something that drew my attention in the last year of undergraduate studies, leading my decision to continue my studies with an MBA in Digital Marketing. 

During the summer before my start of MBA studies, I worked at Prudential as a Product Management Intern in their newly found accessibility technology project. I spoke on the panel at the VOICE Summit during summer 2019, representing Prudential, and talked about my experience with accessibility technology. 

Fast-forward to the Fall 2020 semester, I am in my last semester of MBA studies, figuring out what I plan to do next. I invite you to learn more about my other achievements and involvements at and outside of RIT.

Jordan Brooks

Jordan Brooks: (Almost) Certified Social Media Marketing Guru

“Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.”

My name is Jordan Brooks and I am currently a Master’s student at the Rochester Institute of Technology in the Communications and Media Technology program. In 2019, I graduated from the University of Virginia with two Bachelor’s: one in English Language & Literature, and the other in Spanish Language & Culture. I decided to pursue a degree in Communications & Media Technology because of the events that transpired in Charlottesville; as a news writer and as a community member, I was inspired by the ability of social media to bring people together, its ability to influence and inspire action. After years of experimenting with various media platforms (Digication, Wix, Hootsuite, WhatsApp, Google Meets, Skype, social media, etc.) my friends have accused me of becoming a social media addict. I am, because it’s utterly fascinating. Beyond that, social media has taught me that there are various ways of connecting with people; non-traditional ways that enable one to make an impact and establish a sincere connection despite the physical distance.

I would describe myself as a detail-oriented and self-disciplined Communications student with a background in news writing, professional writing,  media studies, and social media and content marketing. I worked for The Cavalier Daily for three years as an editor, a social media manager, and a Spanish translator, where I enhanced my writing skills, developed my translation skills, and curated my passion for community issues. I am currently a digital marketing intern for a podcast as well as the assistant and social media manager for a black-owned business in my hometown.

USA Dance competition in Chicago, IL.

Beyond my academic and professional background, I would describe myself as a writer, a dancer, and a military brat. As a writer, creative writing, news writing, research writing, and editing have all been outlets for my critical and creative thinking, and have maintained my attention to visual and textual detail. As a dancer, my self-confidence has not only increased, but so has my self-discipline in learning new skills and overcoming challenges. Lastly, I am a military brat, which makes me a traveler. Abroad or domestically, I like visiting new places and finding out how much I don’t know about the world.This lifestyle has made me very adaptable to new environments and circumstances. It’s also opened my mind to facing new challenges, encouraging me to embrace them and not stop until I overcome them. I like to think that these characteristics are what make me stand out as not just a student, but as a person.

Luke Labuski

Lucas Labuski-MBA Student

By Lucas Labuski

Hello, my name is Lucas Labuski, but most people call me Luke. I am originally from Horseheads, New York, but have recently relocated to Rochester. I am currently in my final semester of my Masters of Business Administration with a concentration in Finance at RIT. I received my undergraduate degree in Accounting from Keuka College. During my time at Keuka, I was a four year captain on the golf team, a member of three Honor Societies, an Admissions Ambassador, and also the Founding President of the Keuka College Investment Club, which I was able to grow from 4 members to over 35, as well as secured over $5,000 from outside investors to allow the club to start trading. Upon my graduation this fall, I hope to work as a Certified Financial Planner or a Portfolio Trader for ETFs for a major competitor of the industry. Most of my personal trading experience has come in the form of ETFs, mainly leveraged ETFs. During my senior year at Keuka, I placed 17th out of 1,000 students from across the globe in the ETFG Global Portfolio Challenge. Last fall I once again competed in the ETFG Global Portfolio Challenge and placed 3rd out of 1,000, and also led the competition for four out of the ten weeks. My strategy for both competitions is very similar to my strategy that I use in my personal investments, which tends to favor technology and biotech ETFs. Please take a minute to review my resume, as well as connect with me on LinkedIn.
