Hello! My name is Ruby and I am a second year student at the University of Portland Pamplin School of Business. I am currently pursing a degree in Marketing with a minor in Global Business. Through my academic studies, I have gained practical experience applying marketing concepts to real-world business challenges. I have conducted market research to analyze target demographics and gauge consumer preferences. I have also utilized my knowledge of the marketing mix to design ad campaigns and sales promotions. Beyond my coursework, my involvement in the business fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi, has strengthened my leadership, communication, and networking skills. Participating in weekly meetings has enhanced my ability to engage with professionals and collaborate effectively in a team setting.
