Chief Operations Officer
|
Hi, I’m Heather! I am a Senior Marketing student at LCB. I was actually a Sports Administration Major my first semester of college. I love sports and working in the industry, but I wanted to switch over to Marketing because my main passion lies in using my creative, strategic, and innovative skills. Currently I am combining my passion for sports and marketing through my job as a Marketing Coordinator for Gym Skills Franchise, a gymnastics company!
I have been very involved on campus, joining many student orgs starting freshman year. I was fortunate enough to hold the CPO position on the AMA exec board my Sophomore year, and the COO position my Junior year! I am also on the exec board for Akpsi business fraternity. Last year I was the VP of Membership Engagement and this year, I am the Executive Vice President. Outside of my campus involvement, I am a gymnastics coach at Gym Skills Cincinnati. I coached at a gym in Cleveland three years prior to this. I was a Game Day Marketing team intern for FC Cincinnati for two seasons, I interned with Vizion 360 in their Marketing and Sales department, and I was a Strategy Intern at Icon Marketing Communications. I absolutely love meeting new people, and trying new things! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me, I am always happy to talk! |
Chief Marketing Officer
Hi everyone, my name is Joe Yerkins and I am the Chief Marketing Officer for AMA! I am a third-year student studying Marketing and Professional Sales in the Lindner College of Business. I was a part of the American Marketing Association my first year at UC and I loved every minute of it! That’s when I realized that I wanted to pursue Marketing as a degree and obtain into a leadership position within AMA in the future. I held the role of Chief Programming Officer last year and decided to take a leap of faith and become the Chief Marketing Officer for UC AMA.
When I first came to UC, I knew I wanted to be a part of the college of business but didn’t know what to study. I always had an interest in sports, so I was looking for a way to connect my passion for sports into a business field. I finally came to the settlement of pursuing my career in Marketing and Sales, preferably in the sporting industry, but not limited to. Throughout my time at UC, I have completed multiple internships with the Cincinnati Reds and the UC athletic department serving as a Marketing Intern for both. This fall however, I will be completing my first Co-Op rotation, working as a Product Manager for FOX Sports Cincinnati! As Chief Marketing Officer, a couple goals that I have in mind are focused towards gaining awareness and promoting AMA as a whole while connecting with our students and answer any questions they may have about AMA or anything in general! To go along with AMA, I am involved in various intramural sports such as Flag Football and Basketball. In my free time, I love to play sports, hang out with friends, workout, and watch Netflix/Hulu. I always am down to binge watch a popular tv show! UC AMA has really allowed me to get involved within the university while growing professionally and personally as an individual. I am so excited to be on the executive board for my second year as I cannot wait to get started! |

Chief Programming Officer
|
My name is Lydia Haubner and I’m a senior studying marketing. I spent my first year at UC studying architecture in the DAAP program. Because of this, I have a passion for the design/creative side of marketing. In between switching my major I was in the exploratory program, to help me decide what major I was passionate about. Instead of pursuing an additional major or minor, once I got into marketing I decided to focus my efforts on real-world working experiences. During my junior year I did an internship with Urban Blooms and this past summer I did an internship with Vertiv. The companies were very different, but during both experiences I focused on graphic design-type projects. I will be working for Vertiv part-time during my senior year. One of the things I love most about marketing is how many different kinds of opportunities there are within one field. During my two internships alone I worked on many different types of projects and tasks. My marketing coursework paired with my skills from DAAP have offered me a unique perspective on the many different types of careers there are. My position in the AMA will help me strengthen my organizational and leadership skills. Even if you’re not a marketing major/minor, the AMA welcomes all who are interested in learning about the diverse and unique world of marketing! |
Chief Communications Officer
Hello, everyone! My name is Ben and this year I will be the Chief Communications Officer. I am currently a third-year student majoring in Business Analytics and double minoring in Information Systems & Marketing. I am from West Chester, Ohio, and chose to come to the Lindner College of Business because of the location and all the great opportunities offered here. A fun fact about me is that I can speak Russian because both of my parents are from the Soviet Union!
In addition to being a part of the UC AMA, I have been involved with the iCats (International Bearcats), Greek life, and am currently a PACE Leader. I am also the Website and Social Media Content Manager for Everything Cincy, a local advertising platform and start-up. In my free time, I run my Instagram Blog @explore.cincinnati. I started this page in May of 2020 for the sole purpose of getting into photography. It quickly grew into a platform where I share my passion for local attractions, history, architecture, and local business. This has become my outlet for implementing marketing skills that I learn both in the classroom and on my own. My dream job out of college is to be a full-time Consultant or Data Scientist. My advice to everybody would be to chase your passions and don't be afraid to try something new! Agency President
Catalyst President
Hello all! My name is Autumn Jenkins and I am the Catalyst President of UC AMA. I am a third year Marketing Major, earning an Entrepreneurship Minor and Business Law and Ethics Certificate. I absolutely adore the atmosphere that AMA has provided me, and I cannot wait to see what this year has in store for us! Before choosing Marketing as my Major or coming to UC, I enjoyed competing, meeting new people, and challenging traditional views on numerous topics. By my junior year of high school, I was competing Nationally in DECA, a competitive Marketing organization. This program built up my love for Marketing, case studies, competitions, and all other things that allow students to gain real-world experiences on the topics they love. When I’m not doing Marketing-related things, I can be found visiting local coffee shops, roaming Cincinnati with friends, and working out at the Rec Center. I love UC and I love the community I have grown into – especially all the new people. So if you ever want to chat or grab a coffee, don’t hesitate to reach out! Chief Financial Officer

Hi everybody, my name is Jack Curnutte and I am a third year Marketing and Entrepreneurship double major in the Circle of Excellence program here at UC. I was initially a pilot member of the AMA Agency’s very first year and I have been with the agency team ever since! I was a part of the American Marketing Association my first year at UC and I loved every minute of it! That’s when I realized that I wanted to pursue Marketing and Entrepreneurship as a degree and obtain into a leadership position within AMA in the future.
I am currently working at Schrieber Foods as a Brands Strategy Intern and will continue working remotely next Fall. Feel free to reach out if you need anything at all or having any questions. When you see me at meetings this semester, ask me about my sunglass collection or talk to me about my obsessions for playing fantasy football! 
"What's up everyone! My name is Brennen Rottmueller and I am serving as the Chief Financial Officer for AMA this year. I am currently a third-year marketing major and finance minor in the Lindner College of Business. American Marketing Association was the first club that I joined my first year at UC and the knowledge and skills that I have gained from it have been rewarding!
I came into the Lindner College of Business, undecided, and unsure of what sector of business I wanted to follow. I quickly obtained a passion for marketing. I was also eager to get involved on campus as I was in many clubs and extracurriculars in high school. I found out about AMA and I saw it as the perfect opportunity to grow and learn in the marketing industry. I am happy that I joined and I am happy to now serve as your CFO. Involvement and leadership roles have been a huge part of my life. I am excited to take on this role and oversee all financial operations and increase financial stability while connecting with the rest of the organization. In addition to AMA, I am also involved with the Investment Club as well as the Lindner Student Association. Outside of UC, I enjoy working out, hanging out with friends, and being outdoors. I also love food and I listen to all types of music, all of the time! I am always looking to engage with others so feel free to reach out!" |
VP of Design
Natalie Sisler
|
Hey everyone! I'm Natalie Sisler and I'm excited to be AMA's new Vice President of Design! My main goal as VP is to enhance UC's AMA with enticing and visually interesting promotions (whether that be the newsletter, website, pamphlets, etc.) while providing a clean and professional look. This will promote more interaction with our members and make for easier navigation!
Currently I am studying at UC's School of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) as a third-year student. I will also be participating in their Professional Practice Program, which alternates semesters of classroom study and co-op. Marketing is broad and encompasses many things, but I believe advertising/design work is an important aspect. So of course I was ecstatic when the Chief Marketing Officer, Zaina Ahamad, reached out to me for this position. I have only ever heard great things about UC's AMA and I can't wait to be a part of it! To gain experience, I have shadowed at multiple advertising agencies included Marcus Thomas LLC and Twist Inc. which are both located in my hometown of Cleveland, OH. In my spare time I have volunteered with Lindner Women in Business, Cincinnati Parks, and the local Girl Scout troops. But I'd say exploring the city with friends is my all time favorite thing to do – from thrift stores, to coffee shops – you name it! I am always open to meeting new people so feel free to reach out. VP of Social Media

Hi everyone! My name is Ryan Ray and I am a second year student at UC studying Marketing and Entrepreneurship. I'm from West Chester, Ohio, and decided on UC because I really appreciated how UC and Lindner made it possible for underclassmen to secure co-ops and dive into the professional world so early.

VP of Production
My name is Tommy Rochester and I am a third year Electronic Media major with a focus in film and television production.
I come from a land of greatness known as Cleveland. As I grew up there, my love for movies and TV grew with me. Eventually, during my high school years, I found that I was called to simply bring entertainment to others, so ultimately I decided to attend the University of Cincinnati so that I could take the next step in making my dream a reality. Along with my love for film and TV comes a love for story telling and sports. Because of this, I am pursuing a minor in journalism and a screenwriters certificate. When I’m not playing school, you could catch me watching movies and TV, hanging with friends, fishing, playing guitar and piano, listening to music, and beating robot players on my Euchre app. I am really looking forward to working with everyone and I cannot wait to challenge myself and others and see what great media we can produce this year! |

Some things I like to do in my free time include, playing golf, working out and going to thrift stores to see what exciting loot they have available.
