Hello everyone! My name is Marta Vazquez, and I am currently an MBA student at Rochester Institute of Technology. I recently graduated from RIT with my degree in Finance, and I decided to continue my education through the MBA program because I want to build a broader understanding of business beyond just finance.
My background is mainly in finance and business, but I have had the opportunity to explore several different areas through my work and internship experiences. Most recently, I worked as a Financial Compliance and Procure-to-Pay intern at Constellation Brands, where I worked on financial compliance projects, tax-related work, and process improvement. I also had the opportunity to work with SAP and contribute to an AI market-intelligence project that focused on providing departments with more relevant competitive insights. That experience showed me how different areas of a business can come together and how technology can be used to make processes and decision-making more effective.
Before that, I worked as a Marketing Data Analyst intern at Bonadio, where I researched businesses and industries and used Excel and data to help identify potential growth opportunities. That experience was especially interesting to me because it showed me that I enjoy working with data, but I also enjoy understanding the people and business decisions behind the data. It made me more interested in how companies use information to understand customers, make decisions, and grow.
Although my undergraduate degree is in finance, I have never wanted to limit myself to one area of business. I am interested in learning how different parts of a company work together, especially when it comes to marketing, technology, analytics, and strategy. I like being able to look at a problem from different perspectives and figure out how information can be used to make better decisions.
Outside of school and work, I am very interested in fitness, health, and wellness. I currently work at the YMCA as a Wellness Coach, which has given me experience working directly with people and helping them reach their fitness goals. Long term, I am interested in finding a career where I can combine business with my interests in health, fitness, and wellness. I am still exploring exactly what that career will look like, but I know I want to continue developing my business knowledge and gaining experience in different areas.
