Hello! I’m Eve McMullen. I’m from Buffalo, New York. Currently I am a third year student in the Saunders college of business. I’m pursuing a major in New Media Marketing and am in the process of declaring my advertising and public relations minor as well as declaring a minor in human resources.
My Experience
My career aspirations are to get a job in the marketing field or in the human resources field. At the moment I am looking for a co-op in the summer of 2022 in the marketing and/or human resources field. Last summer, I had a marketing and human resources co-op at Orchard Park Recreation. At Orchard Park Recreation I was responsible for social media marketing, registration, program development, interviewing staff, processing staff paperwork, payroll, filing, and communicating with staff and the public. On top of that, I also organized an anti-bullying and character building program for a summer camp ages 4-14.
After that experience, I’m hoping to find another opportunity to expand my knowledge and help me find out what career path I really want to pursue after college. I really enjoy working in a collaborative setting and working with other co-workers as well as being in a creative, positive environment.
Hi everyone! I am a third-year Saunders business student at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I am pursuing a degree in marketing with a minor in video game design. My interest in business has stemmed ever since high school when I joined the Young Entrepreneurs Academy. My passion has expanded into working with people every day and utilizing the plethora of modern marketing strategies to make an impact on any company or project that I am involved in.
I am also passionate about designing and developing video games with my own creative design briefs as well as the goal of marketing my games in the future.
Proud Apparel initially sold print-on-demand towels. Communicating with vendors as screen printing services for my product, I was able to screen print designs onto towels and sell them to a small niche of consumers. Throughout time, I have expanded Proud Apparel to offer print-on-demand on a variety of different products.
Currently, I am pursing a degree in Advertising and Public Relations with a minor in Marketing at Rochester Institute of Technology. I will graduate in December 2022.
I plan to work in either Advertising or Social Media Marketing and Management for a fashion, beauty or sports brand in New York City.
Experience
I am a motivated senior Advertising and Public Relations major seeking an opportunity to apply my academic, marketing, advertising, and social media experience in a challenging environment. While working as a Social Media Specialist for RIT social media, I helped brainstorm, research, write, create, film, and edit social media content for the mothership accounts (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube). In my time at RIT Social Media, I have become much more confident in my ability to manage large social media platforms, familiarized myself with Social Studio, and become a great team member.
As the Communications intern for Rochester Jr. Americans, an elite youth hockey team, I gather content, edit and upload content on TikTok and Instagram. I managed both the TikTok and Instagram for the girls’ program. I maintain all daily posting and engagement. I curate content throughout the week and post 2-3 times a week, while content is posted to the stories each day. I also work closely with the players to create fun and engaging content from their perspective (takeovers and TikToks). I have helped the account grow 168% since starting in August 2021, and I am excited to see where the account will go this year.
My course work in social media, marketing, advertising, digital design, media planning and public relations writing has given me a strong foundation in both graphic design and social media strategy. Furthermore, I honed my social media and video production skills by building my personal social media platforms on Instagram and YouTube.

I plan to work in an advertising or marketing agency after graduation in December 2022. Between my hands on experience working as a social media specialist and a communications intern, my course work, my positive attitude, and work ethic, I feel equipped to enter a fast-paced agency environment.
My name is Sam Walker and I am a Digital Media Producer. I am a senior at the Rochester Institute of Technology studying Advertising Photography. During my free time I immerse myself in and continue to learn more about the different activities and cultures that I photograph and film.
Experience
I am focused on the creation of various forms of still and motion media that promote outdoor recreation as well as the products and services offered by companies in the outdoor industry. My work goes beyond just the photographing and filming of my subjects, as I dip into the different logistical and organizational aspects that go into a production as a producer. Throughout the last few years I have planned and executed multiple productions with crews of all sizes. Most recently, I completed an internship with Douglas Outdoors during which I travelled 14,000 miles to 24 different states across the United States creating photo and video content of Douglas Outdoors fly fishing products and their users. I visited over 30 Douglas Outdoors dealers where both on and off the water I created images for social media and print advertising as well as a few dozen short 3-5 minute videos for social media use.
Hello! My name is Maxwell Braimon. I am currently pursuing my Bachelors of Science Degree in New Media Marketing with an immersion in PR/Advertising. I grew up in a small town called Dobbs Ferry, NY in Westchester County and transferred to RIT in 2020. I hope to work in the gaming industry in the future because I feel that I am most passionate about that industry.
I currently work part-time at a catering company in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey when I am home for the breaks. Prior to this job, I was working in retail at stores like Under Armor, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Modell’s Sporting Goods so I am familiar with face to face interactions with customers. In my years of retail experience, I have learned how to interact with customers and close sales which will help me in my future career. Throughout this pandemic, I also assisted my mother with her mask making business while she was out of work. During this time, I processed online orders and made postings of custom pre-made masks on various websites.

My name is Anjali Shiyamsaran, and I am currently a fourth year Human-Centered Computing student at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Although I am from Rochester, NY, I was born in Toronto, CA, and hold dual citizenship between the United States and Canada. I plan to graduate this May with a bachelor’s degree from the Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences School of Information. Following graduation, I hope to begin a full-time opportunity as a user experience designer or researcher. I also hope to pursue a masters degree in human-computer interaction or a related field that will help further my current education. My hobbies include writing for RIT’s Reporter Magazine, where I cover a range of topics that students are passionate about in order to help further my skills in communication and empathy.
Experience
I hold co-op experience from a dating startup in New York City called Humhum as its product design intern. During the summer following this internship, I joined Walmart Global Tech as a UX design intern on the Ecommerce Business Services team. From these experiences, I was able to develop my skills in user experience design and research. My career interests also expand into artificial intelligence as well as virtual and augmented reality, and I hope to explore these technologies more through graduate education.

My name is EJ Martino and I’m a fifth year Software Engineering major at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I have loved my major coursework, but I didn’t want to limit myself to only technical endeavors in my academic career. I decided to explore a few interests I discovered during my college years and followed those interests to completing minors in Digital Business as well as American Sign Language and Deaf Cultural Studies.
My Co-Operative Education positions have been the most insightful aspects of my professional development to this point. I have worked a total of 20 months between Saab Sensis Corporation and Lockheed Martin Corporation in the Greater Syracuse area, and am incredibly excited to be returning to Lockheed Martin upon graduation. In addition to job specific technical know-how, the most valuable lesson I have been able to take away from these experiences was that the most successful people are the most flexible. That is why I intend to ensure that I have as much professional experience as possible in any engineering discipline I can get involved in.
After graduation, I will pursue personal projects to foster my development and account for the gap in new experiences that will arise in moving from being a full-time student to being a full-time employee. I will use these skills to grow as a software engineer in my employment, and be open to all opportunities for advancement in my career.
I am a third-year Marketing undergraduate with a minor in Business Analytics! I am passionate about helping companies with positioning strategies for new products and the measurement and optimization of marketing activities online and offline.
Experience
I decided to pursue this career path to support small businesses in North and Central America to boost their products and expand their customer reach.
While working with local businesses in Honduras, I discovered that what fulfills me the most from my career path is creating positioning strategies for new products and services. As well as, supporting businesses to get insights on customers’ data.
My projects and work experience have focused on Business Administration and product marketing. Most of my projects have challenged me to conduct customer research, market segmentation, profitability evaluations, writing marketing plans, designing brand assets, and advertising campaigns to introduce new product lines.
Last year, I had the opportunity to volunteer with the Simone Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship as a Marketing Researcher. I worked with entrepreneurs to help them identify the target market for their products through surveys, customer research databases, and financial forecasting for their new ventures.
Hi! My name is Lauren Paige, and I’m a fourth-year game design and production student in the School of Individualized Study with a minor in psychology at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).

I excel in positions that let me use my organizational, analytical, and design skills, and I strive to create a positive environment where I can make the people around me feel empowered and confident.

I have worked since I was 16 and have had a vast array of jobs, starting out as a busser at a sushi restaurant to becoming a sales leader and influencer for a major brand. During my freshman year at RIT, I worked five different jobs at once to work full-time while balancing being a full-time student, and in my final semester of college, I continue this work-school balance. Working so much has taught me resilience, independence, and the importance of a positive mindset and reframing situations, and has let me develop and cultivate my skills with leadership, time management, conflict management, scheduling, organizing and sorting through data, prioritizing, and adapting.
Currently, I work five different jobs at three different organizations. I am a Teacher’s Assistant (TA) for Prof. Sten McKinzie, a senior lecturer in the Game Design & Development program at RIT, and I TA four of his classes, including 2D Animation, Level Design, and Graduate Level Design. I am the Director of Sports Media and a Board Operator for the Division I men and women’s RIT hockey games for WITR 89.7, our campus radio station. As mentioned above, I am also a Sales Lead and Influencer for American Eagle. By being an influencer, I have also become incredibly interested in marketing, specifically social media marketing, and my skills within the marketing space have expanded greatly within the past nine months. While these jobs are all very different and rewarding in their own unique ways, I am constantly challenged with new situations and obstacles in each of them every day. This continuously lets me grow and learn as both a leader, team player, and person, and I look forward to getting a job that has an environment similar to this where I can flourish and be successful.
I am also currently the first-ever president of Proof of Purchase (PoP) acapella at RIT, and I have been the choreography director for the past three years. Although not paid, I take PoP very seriously and have numerous responsibilities as president, such as scheduling our entire semester, coordinating with the executive board on a daily and weekly basis to keep our group on track, resolving any conflicts, and being the main point of contact for any concerns in our group and between groups. As the choreography director, I coordinate all choreography meetings, brainstorm and execute ideas with our choreography committee, and teach the entire group. My paid job experiences have shaped me as a person, but PoP has similarly shaped me and made me bloom and grow as a leader.
