Sean Richards, Major in Data Analytics
 I am from Rochester, NY, and I am currently majoring in Information Systems & Data
                                 Analytics with a minor in Data Science and Economics. I enjoy learning new things,
                                 gaining new experiences, and working hard. I am interested in technology and chose
                                 to major in IS and minor in Data Science to gain a better understanding of technology
                                 and how to interpret data to discover the countless ways in which information impacts
                                 the ever-changing business landscape. I am a social person and enjoy looking at and
                                 learning about our society and business environments from an Economical perspective.
                                 I love the friendliness and openness of Sellinger students and professors. Sellinger
                                 professors are always there to support you and help answer questions and it feels
                                 like they genuinely want each of us to succeed. I am excited to see what the next
                                 two years bring at Loyola in Sellinger.

Maddie Kammholz, Major in Data Analytics and Marketing, Minor in Writing
 I am a current junior from Rochester, New York majoring in Marketing and Information
                                 Systems with a minor in Writing. Within my first two years at Loyola, the Sellinger
                                 School of Business has definitely become a home to me on campus. I have gotten the
                                 opportunity to work with a variety of incredible professors and faculty members both
                                 inside and outside the classrooms of Sellinger. The continual challenge that Sellinger
                                 provides is both motivating and effective as it encourages me to push myself not only
                                 academically, but professionally and socially as well.

Peter LoPresti, Major in Marketing
 Hey everyone! I’m a junior from North Kingstown, Rhode Island (yes the state exists)
                                 studying Marketing, Info Systems, and Innovation & Entrepreneurship. Coming into Loyola,
                                 I was like a lot of people where I didn’t know what I wanted to study. After taking
                                 several intro level courses, talking with professors, and exploring career options,
                                 I decided Marketing was the path for me. What I love most about the Sellinger Business
                                 school are all the smart and passionate professors available to all students. They
                                 really want to see everyone succeed, and I’ve found them to be an extremely helpful
                                 resource especially when applying for jobs and deciding on my career path. In regard
                                 to marketing, what drew me in were all of the possibilities available with a degree—the
                                 world is really your oyster. In addition, with my passion for helping businesses grow
                                 through marketing, and the people skills required to succeed in the field, I knew
                                 without a shadow of a doubt that I was in the right place. Loyola also offers a variety
                                 of different business minors to students who want to gain more knowledge in the world
                                 of business, which is just another reason why I was attracted to the Sellinger Business
                                 School. I love sports, cooking/baking, and getting to know new people, so I’m excited
                                 to get to know you all and tell you why the Sellinger Business School is really one
                                 of Loyola’s best offerings.

Liliana Boudreau, Major in International Business and Sustainability Management
 I am from Chatham, New Jersey, and I am a junior. I am an Economics and Sustainability
                                 Management double major with a minor in International Business. I chose these two
                                 majors because they focus on developing long-term economic growth while contributing
                                 to the growing solution of making companies more sustainable and preserving natural
                                 resources. I look forward to the relationships I will build with my professors and
                                 peers through the Sellinger School of Business and hope to utilize the skills I learn
                                 to create an environmental footprint for the future.

 Nolan Walchko, Major in Finance
Nolan Walchko, Major in Finance
I am originally from Ellicott City, MD, and I am currently pursuing a major in Finance with a minor in Marketing. I am passionate about learning and am committed to working hard to achieve my academic and professional goals. My decision to major in Finance stems from my interest in understanding the intricate workings of financial systems and markets. I believe that a solid foundation in Finance, coupled with a minor in Marketing, will provide me with a well-rounded skill set to navigate the complexities of the business world. I recognize the importance of adapting to technological advancements in the financial sector. I am eager to leverage my knowledge and skills in Finance to analyze data and make informed decisions that contribute to the success of businesses in our ever-evolving economy. As a social individual, I find joy in examining our society and business environments from an economic perspective. This interest aligns with my minor in Marketing, as I am fascinated by the ways in which economic principles intersect with consumer behavior and market trends. Similar to the Sellinger students and professors at Loyola, I value the guidance and openness within the business school community. I look forward to building relationships with my professors and peers, and I am confident that the supportive environment within the Sellinger School of Business will play a crucial role in my academic and professional journey.
