It's nice to meet you!
My name is Ryan and I am currently an MBA student and Marketing Coordinator at the University of California, Riverside - School of Business (expected to graduate: June 2024). As per my experience in marketing, I provide general support for all marketing and communication activities for a variety of school programs including the Education Abroad Program, School of Business, and Chicano Student Association Program. Currently, not only do I assist with social media management, copywriting, photography, video production, editing, graphic design, and event support, but I also aid in conducting basic research on mark trends in higher education and international outreach.
Also, as an MBA student at UCR, specializing in both Business Analytics and Marketing, I am also both a Teacher's Assistant for the Strategic Management class and a Research Assistant in Consumer Behavior. Both of which, I bare the responsibility for organizing class material, researching course concepts, and collaborating with students achieving a greater understanding of these subjects. I am passionate about learning more about the world of business through classes, news, and research, and applying these analytical and problem-solving skills to real-world scenarios.
My goal this coming year is to leverage my marketing, communication, and analytical skills toward making smarter, data-based decision making for managers to create a positive impact in the field of education, consulting, and small businesses across the country. Building off of this, my end goal is to achieve a career in marketing / branding strategy.
