Kamal Goulbourne: Marketing Consultant

About Me:

My name is Kamal Goulbourne and I am a Marketing Consultant. I am currently a senior at Rochester Institute of Technology, pursing a MBA with a concentration in Digital Marketing. While focusing on my studies I also do marketing projects for a company called VeeMed.

Fun Fact: I am a dual citizen United States & Jamaica

From: Brooklyn, NY

Experience

Throughout my college years I have worked at multiple companies including Picasso Labs, Hospital for Special Surgeries, and now VeeMed. I have also worked for multiple offices at RIT to help with marketing efforts. I am a big advocate of practicing what you preach. I haven’t given marketing advice that I personally wouldn’t use on my own projects. It is easy giving advice and telling others how to spend their money. It is much harder when it is your money on the line.

That being said, I have put my marketing skillset to use to generate revenue for my own side projects. Knowledge of branding, website design, social media marketing, influencer marketing, ad copy, and Facebook & Google Ads were needed to transform ideas I’ve had to functional business projects, that generated weekly revenue. Asides from marketing, I have also enjoyed photography for quite some time. I specialize in portraits, events, and have taken an interest in commercial photography as well . You can find my work here: My Portfolio.

Mission

After I graduate I will work fulltime for a company that wants to seriously invest in their marketing strategy and have a direct impact on its success. One day I will have my own business, where I help entrepreneurs and top executives alike with their marketing plans.

Daniel Ruano, MBA

Hello Everyone! My name is Daniel Ruano and I am a second year MBA student with a concentration in Leadership and Management. I was born and raised in Long Island, New York but for the past couple of years I have come to know Rochester as my home away from home. I completed my undergraduate degree in Network & Systems Administration at RIT in spring of 2020 & then decided that I wanted to continue my education by pursuing an MBA. A goal of mine is to use my background in technology & business to start up my own technology consulting business.

Aside from technology and business, I have a strong passion for volunteer & philanthropic work. I created my own volunteer group, Rising Esperanza, which focuses on raising funds and awareness for charitable organizations. Through Rising Esperanza I have had the opportunity to host my own events & initiatives focused on various charitable causes that need more visibility. One of my favorite events through this group would have to be our “Come Out for a Cookout: An LGBTQ Benefit”. We hosted a cookout in my hometown’s community center where community members could come show their support and get to know our members. All the proceeds from this event went to support Pride for Youth in Long Island, New York as they provided free HIV test kits those in need.

While I’m in Rochester I am heavily involved with my fraternity. In the fall 2017 semester, I crossed into the Omega Chapter of La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity Incorporated. We are a Latin-Based but not Latin-Exclusive organization that focuses primarily on Leadership through Academics, Culture, Brotherhood & Service. Throughout my experience in this organization I have had the opportunity to give back to the Rochester community by connecting with a multitude of student at programs, discussions & service events hosted by my organization and other Culturally Based Fraternities and Sororities.

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 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.

I hail from Northwestern Canada from a city called Fort McMurray. I’ve been travelling back and forth from the US to Canada for the past eight years due to me finishing high school in Virginia.

My other jobs included on campus jobs, one of which was the RIT Global Union Community Manager. I executed social media campaigns, events, and increased engagement within the RIT community as well as the International Student community. Finally, I’ve joined a local art collective called Outfit14a where I make digital marketing materials, art, and music.

I would like to take the experience I have gained and will gain in the workplace to create my own company in the near future. My focus would be on circular economies, sustainability, and social impact. I am very excited for the evolution of business and to be on the leading edge of innovation.

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!

Yang Shen – New Media Marketing in RIT

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. This company mainly operates the export of Chinese products and real estate investment in North America. Before this company, I had six years of entrepreneurial experience starting in high school and three times with partners to establish companies in Hong Kong and China. In terms of execution, I can manage a team of about 50 people.

Before choosing this major, my strength was arranging event planning and writing the company’s future project development plan. Every year I write 2-3 complete commercial projects and sell them, which is also part of my company’s business. After graduating from RIT, I think I can make some achievements in marketing and online sales.
