Brooks Vertoske, MBA

Hello! My name is Brooks Vertoske, and I am originally from Horseheads, New York. After graduating from Horseheads High School in 2016, I decided to further my education at Keuka College from 2016-2020. During my four years at Keuka College, I was a captain of the baseball team, while also having the opportunity to complete five internships. My five internships were with the following: Keuka College Admissions, Watkins Glen International, Elmira Enforcers Hockey, Elmira Downtown Development, and Perry and Carroll Insurance Agency. During my senior year, I was able to maintain a 4.0 GPA and was rewarded as Marketing Student of the Year. After four quick years, I graduated from Keuka College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing. As of now, I am currently an MBA student with a concentration in Digital Marketing at Rochester Institute of Technology. I will be pursuing my MBA until August 2021, which I will then open myself up to employment opportunities. During my final year of education, I will be competing in baseball during the spring of 2021 as well. On top of that, I will also be assisting professors within the Business Administration Department on campus. Sports have always been a major part of my life, which is why I would love to work in the sports industry in the future. However, I will be open to all opportunities in August 2021.
