Maryn Gochuico: New Media Marketing Student

Hello!

My name is Maryn Gochuico and I am in my final semester of my New Media Marketing B.S. at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY. I’m originally from Princeton Junction, NJ where I grew up playing soccer and running track.

If I’m not working on class assignments, you can find me running, lifting weights, or playing soccer. I enjoy observing the tangible ways in which I improve in my strength and speed, and hope to one day run a marathon!

My RIT Experience

Besides the numerous times I have had to wipe snow off of my car, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at RIT. I can largely attribute my enjoyable experience to the variety of clubs I have been a part of on campus. I am the President of Women’s Club Soccer, a member of Delta Sigma Pi, and a member of Women in Business. Many of my close friendships were made after joining these organizations.

I have also completed an IT Business Analyst co-op with Wegmans Food Markets and an Operations internship with Santander Consumer USA.

Post Graduation Plans

I am eagerly awaiting graduation so I can begin my career with Oracle NetSuite as a Business Development Representative in Austin, TX!

Max Braimon – New Media Marketer

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.

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!

Siva Ranganath Meenakshi: Marketer and Artist

Stay Wavy

How are y’all doing! My name is Siva and I’m a RIT International Business and New Media Marketing major with an Entrepreneurship minor graduating in May 2021.

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. I’ve travelled up and down the East Coast during my schooling and would love to explore more places that the US has to offer in the future. I was originally born in Singapore and moved to Canada at a very young age. I also often travel to Southern India to visit my extended family every couple of years and keep my roots planted.

Regarding work experience, I have joined co-ops in marketing research and sales roles for two different local Rochester companies, including an established web marketing firm called Noticestry. I preformed sales marketing tasks, applied for government RFPS, and converted potential clients through multiple sales channels. The other co-op I joined was for a sustainability startup called Farther Farms. I worked on market and industry applications for a novel dehydration technology that our team engineered. 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.

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.

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.
