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!

Chelsea Gordon – Determined Marketing Candidate

Hello! My name is Chelsea Gordon and I’m a Rochester resident. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s of Science in Marketing at RIT, and will graduate in December 2021.

My first collegiate experience was in 2010 at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. I earned an Associate of Arts in fashion design, became a member of Phi Theta Kappa, and graduated magna cum laude. During my studies, I accepted two internships in the Boston area. The first, with independent stylist Christen Mitchell, assisting with developing looks and running photo shoots. The second, working directly with designer David Chum of Selahdor, playing an integral role in the ideation, planning and production of two collections.

Since 2014, I have been a consultant at Susan Deborah Bridal, a high-end bridal boutique in Brighton. I also assist with alterations and manage the social media accounts.

I am proud to have created the boutique’s new logo, displayed on the website, Facebook and Instagram.

Wanting to merge my creative and business passions, I found marketing to be the perfect fit and returned to school.  In May 2020 I graduated from Monroe Community College with an Associate’s degree in the liberal arts program with a focus in business administration, joined Phi Theta Kappa and was honored to receive the Academic Achievement award.

Jordan Fureman, Filmmaker and Marketer

Hello! My name is Jordan Fureman. I am a fourth-year Film Production student at the Rochester Institute of Technology expected to graduate in May of 2021. Along with my BFA in Film Production, I am pursuing a minor in Marketing. I am originally from the small town of Wrightsville, PA, but I am looking forward to traveling to wherever in the world I am able to lend my services. I am hardworking, passionate, and always eager to learn more about Marketing and Filmmaking.

In the field of Marketing, I plan to specialize in social media and internet marketing, which is what the majority of the RIT courses I’ve taken have been focused on. I’ve been in charge of internet marketing for Franklin-Stevens Jewelers for some time, building a functional E-Commerce website that has boosted watch sales, and several social media accounts that have collectively accumulated nearly one thousand followers, allowing the store to have a direct line of interaction with the customer base. I have also directed, shot, and edited a short promotional video for RIT’s Expressive Communication Center, which they have been using to market their services to the RIT community.

During my four years at RIT, I was able to maintain over a 3.8 accumulative GPA while also working as the Director of Production at RIT’s SportsZone Live. I’ve worked there for the past 3 years and have been one of the student managers for almost 2 years. I’ve also aided in many student productions at the School of Film and Animation, as well as many films of my own. Several of which received high regard from my peers and professors.

Meet Alexander Rohring, New Media Marketing Student

Hi there–nice to meet you! I’m Xander, a 20-year-old studying New Media Marketing at Rochester Institute of Technology, originally from Victor, NY. I’m a hard-working, problem-solving student with a minor in Advertising and Public Relations, returning to RIT in the fall to complete a Master of Business Administration degree with a concentration in project management.

My areas of interest include content marketing strategy & generation, social media marketing, copywriting, advertising strategy, and search engine optimization. I have experience working on these types of projects at my work on campus as the social media manager for the RIT Honors Program and at my co-op this past summer working on marketing for Poseidon Systems, a local engineering firm. These have both been rewarding experiences that have helped me develop my skills as a marketer and young professional.

At RIT, I have been inducted into Beta Gamma Sigma, an internationally recognized honors society for AACSB accredited business schools. Additionally, this year I was honored to receive the Outstanding Undergraduate Scholar award that celebrates the top 1% of undergraduate students at RIT who are able to maintain a high standard of academic excellence while also giving back to their community through civic or volunteer work, conducting research, or being engaged in a co-op or work in their field of study.

Gigi Ye – Designer & Marketer

Hello there, my name is Gigi Ye! I am a student at RIT, expected to graduate in May 2021, pursuing a bachelors in Industrial Design and a minor in Business Marketing.

I am originally from Queens, NYC but I look forward to relocating to where the jobs and experiences take me. At RIT, I have worked for FMS Special Events and the Library Archives. These on campus jobs have taught me good customer service skills, processing and organizing materials, and many other tools on the backend of websites.

Now, Industrial Design and Marketing may seem like two very separate occupations, but they actually go hand-in-hand. Through the business courses I have taken, I have learned how to start-up a business, create campaigns and websites, and optimize trends and social media to get people excited about the latest products/services.

My most recent industrial design co-op with Procter & Gamble has provided me with the opportunity to work alongside many professionals in various fields and skills sets. I learned to conduct research and lead user interviews to justify and improve upon my concepts and methods. My design work helped bring ideas to life through storyboarding and illustrations.

In the near future, I hope to continue to improve myself and grow as a designer and an individual. Feel free to check out my resume and portfolio site below!

Adrianna Wellin, RIT MBA Candidate

Hi there, my name is Adrianna Wellin and I’m from Churchville, NY. I just recently completed my bachelor’s degree in New Media Marketing at the Rochester Institute of Technology in May of 2020. I am now pursuing my MBA, also at RIT, with a concentration in Digital Marketing.

Over the course of my undergraduate degree I completed two co-ops. The first, as an undergraduate research assistant for Dr. Neil Hair, Director of RIT’s Innovative Learning Institute. In this position I designed a qualitative research study to identify critical attributes of website quality including design, functionality, and usability. My second co-op I completed at Dixon Schwabl Advertising as a New Business Intern where I worked on an integrated marketing strategy for a non-profit client account utilizing re-branded social media, public relations tactics, and future digital media investment opportunities. Although I learned a lot from both positions, they weren’t exactly the right fit for me. 

Through my experience as a member of Delta Sigma Pi, a co-ed professional business fraternity which I joined my sophomore year of college, I learned I have a much larger passion for helping create an impact on the community and building strong, lasting relationships. Even when I was younger, I’ve always believed that an individual’s ability to influence those around them and spark change is extremely powerful. Therefore, creating a lasting impact on the community around you, in my opinion, is the most valuable way to spend your life. That’s my dream job and in the future I hope to find a position that allows me to make a larger impact.
