Rachel Romaine: IB and MIS Student

Hello! I am Rachel Romaine! I am fourth-year student, double majoring in International Business and Management Information Systems with a minor in Digital Business, at Rochester Institute of Technology.

About Me

I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. I decided to major in business after growing up in a business-oriented environment. My mom is a financial advisor and my older sister works for a private equity firm. I have always been interested in technology as well. Learning about how businesses leverage technology and social media in today’s digital world is very fascinating to me.

In my free time, I love spending time with friends, shopping, traveling, trying new foods, and watching telenovelas (Spanish soap operas). I have been an avid learner of the Spanish language for the past few years and I hope to learn more languages in the future!

Experience

I currently serve as the Vice President of Finance of the Epsilon Lambda Chapter of Delta Sigma Pi. Delta Sigma Pi is an international professional business fraternity, where I initiated in November 2020. I truly love being a Brother of DSP because of its three main pillars: Professionalism, Community Service, and Brotherhood. My past work experience includes being a Business Development Representative Intern at Helium Inc during Summer 2021. In this internship, I helped originate over 2,600 leads, collaborated with the COO and Business Development team to help execute commercial deals, and assisted the Marketing team with researching target markets and creating new potential verticals. I also was a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Research Assistant at RIT and a Junior International Consultant through RIT Dubai.

I have also been involved in other activities and organizations on campus such as being a mentor to freshmen students through the Saunders College of Business Leadership Academy and serving as President and Secretary in a Special Interest Housing Organization, International House. Being a part of International House since my freshman year has been very beneficial because I have been able to be more culturally competent and enhance my intercultural communication skills.

On a career level, I love working with people from diverse backgrounds. As an International Business major, I love learning about new cultures and traveling. Learning about different perspectives of the world is very eye-opening. Also with my Digital Business minor, I have gained a myriad of marketing skills along with technical skills that are essential in digital marketing.

Mission

My career objective is to work for a global company where I can work with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures and blend my two areas of study, business and technology. I hope to gain more knowledge and enhance my existing skills along the way through hands-on experience. After obtaining my Bachelor’s degree, I will continue on to graduate school and pursue my Master of Business Administration at RIT.

As I enter the workforce, I also want to continue advocating for accessibility and raise awareness about disabilities, especially invisible ones. Being hard of hearing comes with many challenges but educating others about these obstacles is very important to me. I hope to utilize my experiences to drive change within the industry and leave a positive impact on my community.

Maryn Gochuico: New Media Marketing Student

Hello!

My name is Maryn Gochuico and I am in my final semester of my New Media Marketing B.S. at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY. I’m originally from Princeton Junction, NJ where I grew up playing soccer and running track.

If I’m not working on class assignments, you can find me running, lifting weights, or playing soccer. I enjoy observing the tangible ways in which I improve in my strength and speed, and hope to one day run a marathon!

My RIT Experience

Besides the numerous times I have had to wipe snow off of my car, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at RIT. I can largely attribute my enjoyable experience to the variety of clubs I have been a part of on campus. I am the President of Women’s Club Soccer, a member of Delta Sigma Pi, and a member of Women in Business. Many of my close friendships were made after joining these organizations.

I have also completed an IT Business Analyst co-op with Wegmans Food Markets and an Operations internship with Santander Consumer USA.

Post Graduation Plans

I am eagerly awaiting graduation so I can begin my career with Oracle NetSuite as a Business Development Representative in Austin, TX!
