SPORTS BUSINESS
Alessandra Rodriguez
Senior, Business Administration (Sports Business)
Hometown: Tracy, California
Someone once told me if your job doesn’t give you goosebumps, you probably shouldn’t be doing it. And this industry and all of my internships have definitely always given me goosebumps. Whether it’s after the 100th volleyball game or basketball game, I am just so excited. I get butterflies in my stomach and goosebumps. I love it.
Kieran Maher, BS ’16
Business Administration (Sports Business)
Assistant Manager, Global Brand Marketing Communications, adidas, Portland, Oregon
If I was to go back to my freshman self and say, “You’re going to work at events like the Super Bowl, winter and summer Olympic trials, the NBA All-Star game, the World Series, and work directly with marquee athletes like LeBron, Kevin Durant, Shaun White, and Antonio Brown and do all this stuff within three years,” I would have laughed at myself.
MARKETING
Minna Yamasaki
Senior, Business Administration (Marketing); Economics Minor
Hometown: Portland, Oregon
The Lundquist College of Business is the perfect place for me, where all my interests come together and I can explore amazing career options.
Julie Haynes, BS ’13
Business Administration (Marketing)
Product Marketer, Slack, San Francisco, California
The combination of classes, connections to people in the business community, and the opportunity to participate in internships set me up for success when I graduated.
FINANCE
Kaixi “Alex” Yang
Senior, Business Administration (Finance)
Hometown: Xinyu, Jiangxi, China
Being involved with the UO Investment Group—where we manage more than $1 million in real money—I gained a lot of knowledge and skills about financial modeling and writing financial reports. The UOIG’s portfolio is consistently one of the top-performing collegiate stock portfolios in the United States.
Nick Hubert, BS ’15
Accounting
Financial Advisor, Morgan Stanley, Portland, Oregon
It’s that encouragement to go out and try new things and to really build that foundation for lifelong learning and lifelong relationships. I think that’s very hard to find. I found it at the Lundquist College of Business.
ACCOUNTING
Kristina Moyer
Senior, Accounting
Hometown: Victorville, California
Accounting is literally the language of business, and if you can’t read those numbers, a business can completely collapse.
Nathan Apsel
BS ’08, MActg ’09
Accounting
Vice President of Finance, 8VC, San Francisco, California
At first glance, you might not associate accounting with entrepreneurship. But at my firm, it’s a bit like Shark Tank on a day-to-day basis.
OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS ANALYTICS
Alisha Barker
Senior, Business Administration (Operations and Business Analytics)
Hometown: Portland, Oregon
The professors really teach you how to get a taste of everything to give you a better idea of what you want to do next.
Haiming Kuang, BS ’18
Business Administration (Operations and Business Analytics), Economics
Business Data Analyst, Myers Container, Portland, Oregon
The Lundquist College of Business gave me hands-on experience working with a professional client outside of schoolwork. That really made my résumé stand out.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Samantha Kin
Senior, Business Administration (Entrepreneurship)
Hometown: Agoura Hills, California
It’s not every day that you get to start a business while still in college. But that is exactly what I was encouraged to do. It has been an amazing journey.
Jennifer Albertson
Business Administration (Entrepreneurship), Class of 2018
Owner, Bespoke Bride, Bend, Oregon
