About Brandon

I’m a Sophomore at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business pursuing a B.S. in Marketing with a 3.5 GPA. I graduated from high school in Hartford, Connecticut, before moving to New York City to pursue my business degree. I am pursuing marketing internships for Summer 2026 and Fall 2026. At Fordham I am a Marketing Scholars Candidate, one of 50 students selected for a program aimed at providing unique, high-profile opportunities to advance marketing careers through visits to leading agencies and exposure to other industry professionals. I also serve as the Chief Operating Officer of the Fordham Marketing Club where I collaborate with e-board members to plan and execute programming for one of the most active and robust student clubs on campus. I also work as a Fordham Career Ambassador, where I help facilitate professional development programming and networking events for Lincoln Center students.My past internships have allowed me to apply my classroom business skills in real-world settings. As a Social Media Intern at Primerica, I planned and executed social media strategies across TikTok and Instagram, translating complex financial concepts into digestible content and creating 3–5 posts weekly using Canva and CapCut. I tracked performance metrics including views, impressions, and followers to optimize engagement and improve content performance. As an Event Planning Intern for the International Advertising Association’s Global B2B Brand Summit, I supported the execution of a large-scale professional development event featuring industry leaders from BNY, Google Ads, Amazon Business, LinkedIn, and HSBC, with over 200 attendees. Within Fordham’s academics, two hallmark programs allowed me to work in team settings for extended periods where I generated deep analysis and research to support large final presentations. As part of Gabelli’s Consulting Cup, I worked with a team to conduct a comprehensive competitive and strategic analysis of Zoom and developed “Front Row by Zoom,” a live-streaming entertainment feature that we pitched using a 36-page deck to a panel of experts. During my freshman year, my team participated in the Ground Floor Challenge, and developed an integrated business plan for “Bucket List,” an app designed to transform social media inspiration into real-world experiences. You may contact me at b•••@fordham.edu. I look forward to hearing from you!
