About Me

I’m a highly motivated and professional all-source analyst with a proven track record of delivering actionable intelligence assessments across government and private sectors. My expertise lies in synthesizing complex data sets drawing from open-source, classified, and proprietary channels to produce clear, strategic insights for decision-makers in business, law enforcement, national security, and military operations.

With a strong foundation in analytical rigor and cross-functional collaboration, I’ve supported high-stakes environments where precision, discretion, and timeliness are critical. My work bridges tactical intelligence with strategic foresight, helping organizations anticipate risks, seize opportunities, and navigate uncertainty.

Currently, I’m pursuing an MBA with a concentration in project management, innovation, and business analysis at the Rochester Institute of Technology. This academic journey is sharpening my ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, drive operational excellence, and design scalable solutions that align with organizational goals. I’m passionate about transforming data into strategy—and strategy into impact.

Strategy Into Impact

My approach to analysis is rooted in precision, adaptability, and real-world application. I don’t just interpret data, I transform it into strategic action.
With advanced proficiency in Excel, I’ve built dynamic dashboards, automated reporting workflows, and modeled complex scenarios that support high-stakes decision-making. From pivot tables to advanced formulas, I use Excel not just as a spreadsheet tool but as a strategic engine that drives clarity and performance.


Now, I’m reshaping how we view data by integrating artificial intelligence into the analytical process. Through real-world applications with a large company, I’ve begun leveraging AI to uncover patterns, forecast outcomes, and elevate decision-making beyond traditional methods. It’s not just an upgrade in tools—it’s a shift in perspective.


By applying AI, I’m opening a kind of third eye in analysis: one that sees beyond the surface, connects disparate signals, and reveals strategic truths that were previously hidden. This expanded lens allows me to move from reactive reporting to predictive insight, helping organizations anticipate change and act with confidence.


This fusion of human intuition, technical skill, and machine intelligence is transforming how we define impact—and how we deliver it.

Cam Sartini – MBA Student at RIT

Hi. My name is Cam Sartini. I’m a Rochester native who has been studying business at the Rochester Institute of Technology for the last four years. This past spring, I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in global business management while also earning minors in both finance and communications, which helped broaden my academic and professional expertise. I seek to further my education by completing the 4+1 MBA program for business administration. I believe this graduate program will be instrumental in shaping my career trajectory and driving future growth and long-term success.

Max Mekker – MBA Student

Thank you for taking 5 minutes to make a tremendous impact on my project! My goal is to gain as much engagement on this post as possible, and simply clicking on my resume, LinkedIn, and reading this introduction contributes to a strong performance.

My name is Max Mekker and I am an MBA student at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), in Rochester, NY. Completing my undergraduate degree in accounting, I am now pursuing my CPA and MBA certifications which will be completed by May of 2025. I can bore you with the internships I’ve done and what my career plans are… but those can all be found on my resume and LinkedIn profile attached to this post. So instead, I’d like to share a story on what influenced my decision to pursue an MBA.

Working towards my MBA was not always on my radar, at least not until I traveled to Australia for the Fall 2022 semester. On September 4th, 2022, I boarded my flight from Syracuse, NY, and after 22 hours of air travel, I landed in Gold Coast, Australia. The next four months were spent at Bond University, one of Australia’s top private institutions. During those four months, I not only explored Australia’s iconic landmarks—the Great Barrier Reef, Sydney, the Outback—but also ventured to Bali and spent two weeks traveling through New Zealand. This journey exposed me to new perspectives and deepened my understanding of the world. It was these experiences that also helped me realize my passion for continuous learning and growth, ultimately leading to my decision to pursue an MBA.

Here are two key lessons I’ve come to embrace from my study abroad journey, and how they shaped my desire to further my education through an MBA program:

1. Be in the Present

From hiking mountains in New Zealand to racing four-wheelers through forests in Bali, I learned the value of being fully present. Letting go of thoughts about the past or worries about the future allowed me to truly absorb everything happening around me. This mindset shift made me realize the importance of adaptability—a skill crucial in business. In today’s rapidly evolving world, the ability to stay agile and embrace new challenges is essential. My time abroad showed me that I thrive in dynamic environments, and pursuing an MBA will allow me to further develop this agility and apply it in leadership and entrepreneurial roles.

2. Gratitude and Global Perspective

Traveling opened my eyes to the diversity of experiences and perspectives around the world. Meeting people from different backgrounds and seeing how they navigate life with optimism, even in challenging circumstances, gave me a deeper appreciation for global business environments. This sparked my interest in learning how businesses can positively impact communities and the importance of ethical leadership. An MBA not only enhances my financial and strategic acumen but also broadens my understanding of global markets.

My study abroad experience gave me a sense of confidence I didn’t have before. These experiences revealed my passion for problem-solving and leadership. Pursuing an MBA felt like the natural next step in building on these strengths. I’m confident that an MBA will provide the tools and network I need to turn these experiences into meaningful impact.

Jack Connolly-student, MBA program, Website, Resume

MBA student

Hell0! My name is Jack Connolly, I am currently pursuing on getting my masters in Business Administration at RIT. When I was an undergraduate I was getting my bachelors in Visual Media. Which is a mix of photography, graphic design, and marketing. I took some business classes while in my undergrad years and really liked the idea of going to take more classes in business.

This year in particular I hope to improve my knowledge of marketing and advertising career since I do believe it complements what I know currently when it comes to the creative side of what I’ve learned in my undergraduate years. I want to be able to be part of the business and creative side of advertising so that I can see how a marketing agency thinks on the business side of things and then later on decides how they want to get creative with their marketing.

Below is a link to my resume and website! Please feel free to click on either one of these links and let me know what you think about them? I would love to hear your feedback while I try to improve both my resume and my website.Your feedback will be much appreciated, since I will be applying to jobs soon once I am done after getting my MBA. To leave feedback, leave a comment below!

Joseph Kollie: MBA

About me:

Hi, my name is Joseph Kollie,

I am currently at the Rochester Institute of Technology. After completing my undergraduate in Psychology and with my interest for conducting experiments and pulling data, I wanted to further my education in the business sphere, as these research designs and methodologies often overlap. The MBA program allowed me to advance my career and sharpen my research interests, specifically in the investment banking sector. I will be done this summer of 2024.

Projects:

During my undergrad, under the McNair Post-Baccalaureate program I worked with R.I.T Human Resource Department. I was assigned to conduct my project on all 30 competing colleges in line with R.I.T. benefits, ranging from colleges such as Cornell, Duke, Indiana, etc. My Task was to compare each of their benefits in relation to R.I.T.’s. and make recommendations. Most of my data extraction was pulled from university’s websites and put into an excel spreadsheet and graphs to explain my findings.

I compiled a list of 11 sectors that were the main driving force of our economy. From each sector, I selected three companies that my research proved to be undervalued & underperforming but had an opportunity for growth. I went about this by looking at each sector and tracking their indexes. From there, I looked at those companies’ lists and researched them individually. Once a company was selected, I watched their prior years and their stock trend patterns from over ten years, as well as how much they fluctuated year to year, and ran randomization and probability to see what the likelihood of them repeating the same pattern would be while adding and subtracting their prices differences over the years. This project helped create a diversified portfolio that mimics their index but had better returns. Netflix, which I bought at 270, and Nvidia at 200, have succeeded in this project since I started this in 2022.

Lauren Paige: Empathetic and Resilient Game Designer and Producer

About Me:

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 graduate in May of 2022 and am currently looking for fitting job opportunities. I pride myself on my time management skills, my hard-working attitude, and my positive energy, and if you talk to me just for five minutes, you will understand why I pride myself in these immediately.

Mission:

My objective is to be a full-time game designer or game producer at a game company when I graduate in May. I am hoping to relocate since I have lived in Rochester my entire life but I am open to many locations. 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. If my qualities sound similar to your company’s values, please hit the button below to connect with me on LinkedIn!

Let’s connect!

Experience:

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.
