My name is Clara Love and I am a part of Duke University's class of 2022! I am planning to major in Public Policy with a minor in Gender/Feminist Studies and African American Studies, and a certificate in Markets and Management Studies (MMS). I am aiming to work as a marketing/brand management consultant in the future with a focus on promoting positive images for the overall health of minority consumers. One day, I hope to be able to open my own marketing firm geared towards making advertising more friendly for female and POC consumers and employees.
My name is Jamie Cohen, and I am a junior pursuing a major in Public Policy and certificates in Markets and Management as well as Policy Journalism and Media Studies. My favorite part about the MMS certificate is the diversity of classes and the wonderful teachers who often incorporate current events into their curriculum. As an MMS ambassador, I look forward to sharing news about events the program is hosting and chatting with students who are unsure about whether or not MMS is right for them. On campus, I am the Social Media editor for both the Chronicle and Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. Additionally, I have previously interned at CBS News in Washington, DC, and hope to have a future career in marketing. Read Jamie's blog here.
My name is Reilly Walsh and I am currently a junior majoring in Political Science with a concentration in Political Economy and a Markets and Management Certificate. I am extremely interested in the bridge between the history of politics and economics, the way they overlap, and the effect they have on one another. As an ambassador I am excited to meet and learn more about the MMS program, while benefiting from the community that is involved with the growth of the students here at Duke. I enjoy learning about the technology and the organizations within it and hope to work in the financial industry. Read Reilly's blog here.
Hi! My name is Arianna Rhue, I am a sophomore from Columbia, South Carolina. I am an Economics major, with a Visual Media Studies minor, and I am, naturally, pursuing the Markets and Managements Certificate. Around campus I am involved in the Duke University Union Marketing Committee, as well as the Penny Pilgrim George Women's Leadership Cohort; this year I was also an advisor for the First Year Advisory Council. In my free time, I love exercising at the Wilson Gym and reading. I am looking forward to being a Markets and Management Ambassador because I can get more involved in the program, which allows me to further my coursework through programming and other means. I also look forward to informing other students about the Markets and Management Program and expanding its participants. Read Arianna's blog here.
