Will Sterrett: Marketing and Statistics

May be an image of Will Sterrett

Hi my name is Will Sterrett, I am a third year marketing major with a minor in statistics at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I am from Reston, Virginia, which is 30 minutes outside Washington D.C. I love all aspects of business so, when I came to college I didn’t know what type of degree I wanted to pursue. I fell in love with marketing in my first year of college. I also have always had a love for numbers which is why I wanted minor in statistics. I would love to get a marketing analytics job right out of college.

I came to RIT to pursue a high level education, while being able to play the game that I love, lacrosse. Growing up I played so many different types of sports such as hockey, soccer, lacrosse, and football. These sports taught me some very important traits, such as leadership and teamwork. I believe that those two qualities are essential in the work place. Below are my resume and a link to my Linked In Profile. Feel free to click on both and learn more about me.

Jasmina Rizvanovic, New Media Marketing Student

Hi there! My name is Jasmina Rizvanovic. I am currently a senior in my final semester at Rochester Institute of Technology pursuing a bachelor’s degree in New Media Marketing with two minors in Advertising/Public Relations and Digital Business. 

Background

To give a little context about me, I came to the US at two months old from Bosnia with my family where we settled here in Rochester, NY. I attended and graduated from School of the Arts High School where I majored in Creative Writing. I decided to continue my education locally at RIT  where I was a recipient of the Rochester City Scholars Scholarship. While at RIT, I am a member of the Division of Diversity and Inclusion and the Multicultural Center for Academic Success so diversity awareness and representation is something I am passionate about. 

Experience

During my time at RIT, I have completed three internships within the digital marketing space. My experience is varied from higher education to the food and beverage and restaurant industries. I have had experience with social media management, content creation, analytics, influencer recruitment and brand management. Some of my favorite internships were for Wegmans Food Markets. I completed two internships with the company in Marketing and the other in Media Relations. From these experiences, I gained vast knowledge in content creation (planning, organizing and scheduling content), analyzing metrics and analytics as well as a general better understanding of operating from various departments in an organization. 

Future Plans

To say I am excited to enter the workforce is an understatement. My ideal career path would consist of  working for a marketing/advertising agency but I am not opposed to exploring other avenues at this time. I am open to the idea of relocating as well. To learn a little more about me or my experiences feel free to download my resume. I love chatting and networking with new people so  feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn as well!

Chris Foley: International Marketer and Music Lover

My name is Christopher Foley and I’m into languages. Communicating with people from around the world always seemed like the most fascinating thing in the world to me. In terms of true languages, I speak English and Mandarin, but I also partake in the universal language of music. I’ve sung beside the Cleveland Orchestra in Severance Hall, been a part of multiple music productions, and perform as an opera singer to this day. Music and language bring people together. To me, that’s magical. It’s what I’m passionate about.

To that end, professionally, I’m an international business professional specialized in sales and marketing. I want to be able to do business with people in other countries, bring culture from one part of the world to another, and facilitate the broadening of people’s horizons. I suspect that my beginnings will be doing marketing and sales for a company doing business with China because of my experience living in China and speaking the language.

Angel Keppler – Photo Advertiser and Marketer

Hello! My name is Angel Keppler and I am an undergrad in my 3rd-year studying photo advertising with a minor in marketing here at Rochester Institute of Technology. While at RIT I played lacrosse and was involved in the organization Alpha Xi Delta. I also had the chance to work in Golisano in The School of Information.

I grew up in a small town called Owego, NY where I was VP of the student body and was a 3-time state champ in XC. These taught me leadership and responsibility early on. It proved to me that hard work pays off and set me up with a good mindset for success. My photography started early on and my passion and interest for it in business has only expanded since.

During my time here I have had the opportunity to do research with Eun Sook Kwon on content analysis and have done some freelance work with the knowledge I am gained from RIT. I was also able to spend the last 6 months working for KaeRae Marketing where I was a project coordinator and social media manager. This experience has resulted in me becoming more well rounded in the marketing field and improved my organization due to the fact I had to distribute ideas to another person and translate thoughts and ideas.

I am very passionate about advertising and marketing and what catches a consumer’s eye to persuade them to buy or be interested in certain products. I aspire to work around this field to bring a new perspective to brands and encourage their growth. Check out my LinkedIn and resume below!

Hi everyone, my name is Yang Shen. I am a senior student in New Media Marketing at Rochester Institute of Technology. In the past few weeks, I have received offers from Boston University. I hope I can enjoy my last time at RIT.

Three years ago, I established my company in Shanghai, China. The company’s name is Drip Dew (Shanghai) Education & Technology CO., LTD.
