I’m a Junior at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business with a 3.9 GPA pursuing a degree in Marketing. I am currently studying at the University of Granada in Spain. I was born in Portland, Oregon, where I earned my Eagle Scout before moving to New York. I am seeking 2025 Summer Internship opportunities in marketing and advertising.This summer, I interned at award-winning RSquare Media Inc., an online reputation management firm. I worked on a team to develop 200+ digital assets to support marketing and promotion across social media platforms, and I wrote several YouTube scripts to advertise the owner’s new project management software, Lylli LaunchTools. I also gained experience conducting market research work for the National Research Group (NRG). I sorted through policy influencer data using ChatGPT and compiled my findings in a PowerPoint presentation for management. Previously, I interned as a Media Content Creator where I worked to support the Marketing team by taking photos at City School Sports Association youth league sports events. This content was used to support social media strategies promoting CSSA across social media channels. Given a goal of a 5% Instagram follower increase during my term, I finished my position observing a 10% follower increase.At Fordham, as a Marketing Scholars Candidate, I am one of 40 students in a program aimed at providing unique, high-profile opportunities to advance marketing careers through visits to leading advertising agencies and exposure to other industry-leading professionals. I am also an active member of the Fordham Chess Club, where I practice crucial business skills such as strategy, analysis, patience, tactics and attention.Within Fordham’s academics, two programs allowed me to work in team settings where I generated deep analysis and research to support a large final presentation. As part of Gabelli's Consulting Cup, with a team I developed a comprehensive solution to address the opportunities around repair and service business of John Deere equipment that addressed emerging legislation. We developed an AAA-style service repair program, The Wandering John, and pitched our idea to a panel of experts using a 30-page PowerPoint presentation. During my freshman year, my team participated in the Ground Floor challenge and created a comprehensive business plan for EduTrade, a financial literacy tool to educate Millennial and Gen-Z consumers while earning a commission from their trades.You can contact me at ismith35@fordham.edu.I look forward to hearing from you!
