Abigail Ling – RIT MBA Student

Hi! Please help me get engagement for my Internet Marketing class as a part of the RIT MBA program! Please click on the LinkedIn and Resume buttons below (and give it a quick read if you’d like 🙂 )


Welcome! My name is Abby Ling and I’m a graduate student at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Business Administration part-time. My undergraduate degree is in Finance. I chose to continue my education in the MBA program in order to advance my business knowledge, gain valuable industry skills, and further my career opportunities.

During my undergraduate program, I participated in a few extracurriculars including the Financial Management Association and Delta Phi Epsilon. During my time with the sorority, I was elected as the Director of Finance in which I helped create and manage the chapter’s budget. I also participated in volunteering events for our philanthropies which include Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD) and Cystic Fibrosis.

In 2022, I had a summer internship with HSBC Bank, which led a full-time position after graduation in the Graduate Development Program. I had the opportunity to complete 6-month rotations in various parts of Retail Banking including digital banking, strategic & organizational planning, and project management. Following this program, I was fortunate to start a new position with HSBC as a credit analyst within Asset Management. This role involves investment research in fixed income (particularly corporate bonds). I hope to continue gaining experience in the field of finance, and I look forward to continuing to develop professional skills and relationships.

If you’ve made it this far, feel free to check out my LinkedIn and my resume! Thank you!

Jasmina Rizvanovic, New Media Marketing Student

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!

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.
