Our Social Media Team

ADRIAN

Witam! My name is Adrian Kuzbik and I’m a senior Advanced Marketing Analytics and Integrated Marketing Communications major from Franklin Park, Illinois (suburb outside of O’Hare, so I guess you can call it Chicago).

I love to keep myself busy at ISU! Outside of the Social Media team, I’m also a part of the Pay it Forward Team and Alpha Kappa Psi Professional Business Fraternity. What I’m most proud of is serving as President of Business Week this year. Getting involved has helped me develop into the professional I am today, and I encourage everyone to join any organization on campus (but you should strongly consider the Social Media Team because it’s super fun).

When I’m not in meetings or working, I loooove to watch International movies/shows on Netflix. Some of my titles include Lupin, Dark, Bad Seeds, Lucid Dreams, and Bad Genius. I’m always looking to learn something new every day and be 1% better.

EDWIN

Hello, my name is Edwin Brkic. I am from Park Ridge, Illinois a northwest suburb of Chicago. I am a sophomore majoring in Integrated Marketing Communications with a minor in Business Analytics. On top of being on the social media team, I am involved in other business RSO's. I have recently joined the Business Week team as a mentor program coordinator along with being a part of Alpha Kappa Psi Professional Business Fraternity.

When I have free time, I like to go out for tea, play tennis, and practice my instruments. Being a business bird helped me learn new time management skills and it allows me to stay involved while having spare time to have fun on campus. I always look forward to learning new things while helping others through the process. The best part about social media is the data and analytics behind it all.

HAYLEIGH

Hi there, my name is Hayleigh Brokaw! I am a sophomore with a Business Administration major and a minor in Communication Studies.

I am from Cherry, Illinois, a small town an hour from Illinois State. I have thoroughly enjoyed my last year being a Redbird, and as a College of Business Social Media Team intern! I am also an intern for Illinois State Athletics, and I love being around sports! I have also been a part of Business Week as a mentee and enjoy meeting new people through these events.

In my free time, I love hanging out with friends, going to the Rec to workout, cooking, playing with my dogs, and watching my favorite Netflix shows. I chose Illinois State not only for its fantastic Business program, but the people and welcoming atmosphere. Being a Redbird has helped me become who I am today, and I feel confident going forward to pursue my dream career in sports!

HUNTER

Hello, my name is Hunter Galassi! I am in my last year here at ISU majoring in Accounting and Marketing. I am from a very small town here in Illinois called Cherry. This past summer I had the opportunity to complete an accounting internship at a recording studio/artist management company in Nashville, TN. I am now excited to be able to get some experience from a marketing perspective on the College of Business Social Media Team!

I love being a business bird because of the family-like feel in the College of Business. The faculty and staff do a terrific job of keeping students engaged. I have made amazing, lifelong connections here in the COB. Outside of school I like to spend most of my free time hanging out with my friends and family, watching shows and movies, and reading. I am also in a sand volleyball league in the summer and when I have time, I love to travel!

JACK

Senior level marketing under graduate with a deep passion for content creation, web and game development, and social media! 

 

 

 

MAX

I chose to attend Illinois State University because I felt welcomed here and there is a really good vibe here! Also I love watching professional sports, NFL (Bear Down), MLB (Go Southside), NBA (Go Bulls), NHL (Go Blackhawks). I enjoy social media because you can be creative and show others your interests and fun things that you do!

POLINA

Hi everyone! My name is Polina Kreuz and I am a freshman majoring in marketing. I am from Bloomington, Illinois, just a ten-minute drive from ISU. It has been so fun to live on campus and experience a piece of my town with a brand-new perspective!  In addition to joining the social media team, I’ve loved getting to be apart of Encounter Campus Ministry where I have found a great community of people and have made so many amazing friends.

Outside of school, I try to keep myself busy! One way is through coaching gymnastics. I did the sport for over ten years and I’ve loved being able to share my passion for the sport with the kids I teach. In my free time, I love to hang out and chat with my friends, draw, journal, and stay active. And most importantly, I am obsessed with chocolate chip cookies!

Prior to joining the social media team, I did two internships for graphic design and social media through Eastview Christian Church. I love to create, design, and am a fan of all thing social media! I am so excited to be on the team and represent the College of Business!
