Co-President

My name is Allana Kimmerer, and I am a junior at Michigan State University majoring in Marketing with a Brand Marketing Certificate. This is my second year serving on the MSUMA Executive Board, first as Director of Membership and now as Co-President alongside Claire! Together with our Executive Board, we strive to create impactful opportunities for students to develop professionally, build lasting relationships, and explore their interests within marketing.

MSUMA was the very first club I joined on campus, and it quickly became one of the best decisions I’ve made. The people, the opportunities, and the community have all made such a positive impact on my college experience.

Outside of MSUMA, I am a DWLA Scholar and a member of Delta Sigma Pi. In my free time you can find me hanging out with friends and family, going to pilates, or cheering on the Spartans at sporting events. Looking forward to a great year ahead with all of you! Go Green!

Director of Corporate Relations

Hi everyone! I'm Kaylee Imo, a sophomore studying Marketing with a minor in Entrepreneurship & Innovation. MSUMA was the first student organization I joined at MSU my freshman year, and has truly shaped my college experience so far. From the professional development skills I learned on site visits and at Corporate Mixers to developing lasting friendships during the Nashville trip, MSUMA has truly been amazing. This is my first year on E-board, serving as the Director of Corporate Relations. I'm excited to help strengthen our relationships with companies and create meaningful networking opportunities for our members. I can't wait to see all the connections and opportunities that come from this year's events.

Outside of MSUMA, you’ll find me cheering on all of MSU’s men’s and women’s sports, going to hot yoga, finding any excuse to grab a coffee or matcha, and spending time with my dog, Honey. I am so excited to meet all of our members and welcome new members this Fall. We are going to have a great year! <3

Director of Marketing

Hello MSUMA! My name is Giana Qualls, and I am currently a sophomore studying Marketing. This is my second year being a part of MSUMA and my first year on e-board. I am incredibly excited to step into my new role as Director of Marketing and look forward to promoting the professionalism, community, and personality that makes MSUMA so special.

MSUMA was the first club I joined at MSU, and it has played a major role in shaping my college experience. The trips, meetings, and social events helped me find a community where I felt welcomed from the moment I arrived on campus. Beyond the friendships I’ve made, MSUMA has connected me with people who share similar career and academic goals. This has given me the opportunity to learn from one another, grow professionally, and build relationships that will last after college.

Outside of MSUMA, I am involved in my sorority, Chi Omega and the Residential Business Community. In my free time, I enjoy staying active by playing pickleball and taking pilates classes. I am a very social person that loves to meet new people, so do not hesitate to stop and say hello. I’m always happy to see a familiar face around campus!

Director of Membership

Hi MSUMA!! My name is Aly Gresens and I am a sophomore Marketing major with a minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. This year, I am excited to serve on the MSUMA E-Board as Director of Membership and help create a welcoming environment where members can grow, connect and get involved! MSUMA was the first club I joined at MSU where I felt at home. Coming to a large school, I was nervous about finding people who shared the same passions and career interests as me. Joining MSUMA gave me exactly that. Through the company visits, networking events and mixers I have gained so many incredible friendships. The organization has played a huge role in helping me find my place at MSU, which is why I’m so excited to help create that same experience for others this year.

Outside of MSUMA, I’m involved in my sorority Delta Gamma, The Digital Marketing Organization, Impulse Dance Club, and the Letters of Love Club. These experiences have allowed me to grow as a leader and creative student while meeting and learning from such amazing people. When I am not in class you can find me hanging out with my friends, traveling or at 1855 for some starbucks! I am looking forward to meeting everyone and I can’t wait to make this an amazing year for MSUMA!

Director of Events

Hi everyone! I’m Maddy Medvitz, a junior majoring in Marketing along with a Brand Marketing Certificate. This is my second year in MSUMA, and I am so excited to step into a leadership role as this year's Director of Events! MSUMA has truly been the most pivotal involvement I’ve had at MSU, and I certainly wouldn’t be who I am today without it. It’s a space where I felt not only safe, but encouraged to explore many different aspects about myself, whether it was my major and possible career paths, or socially, by joining a community of the most hard working and inspiring students. It has been a core source for support, inclusion, and motivation, and I can’t wait to become even more involved this year! 

Outside of MSUMA, I love to be social and engaged in other campus organizations as a member of Delta Sigma Pi, and the philanthropic club, Letters of Love! When I’m not in Broad, you’ll probably find me taking a walk around campus, or grabbing a refresher at the 1855 Starbucks! 

So excited for an incredible year ahead! Always feel free to reach out or say hi to me on campus, I would love to get to know you! Go Green!! <3

Director of Philanthropy

Hey everyone! My name is Ryan Damian and I am a Sophomore majoring in Marketing. This is my first year on E-Board, second year involved with the club, and I am so excited for this amazing year!

MSUMA has truly been my home at MSU and I could not imagine it any other way. When I first came to MSU, I felt a little lost, but after finding MSUMA I felt like I found my people. This club has brought me so many amazing friends, experiences, and opportunities that no other organization could have given me, and I am so grateful. I will be this year’s Director of Philanthropy, meaning that I am in charge of all volunteering and fundraising events for the club. Philanthropy has been a huge passion of mine since Middle School, and I can’t wait to help MSUMA grow its volunteering efforts this year. 

Besides MSUMA, I love being a busy person and staying active. I am involved in the Entrepreneurship Association and I hope to grow my involvement next year. I lift as much as I can and I love hanging out with friends. Outside of school, I pursue my passion for film and music. 

If you have any questions about MSUMA or life, please contact me. I love making new friends and GO GREEN!

Business Committee Chair

I’m thrilled to be this year’s Business Committee Chair! Last year was my first year with MSUMA, and I wanted to try something new, which led me to the Business Committee. After becoming a consultant, I discovered a passion I didn’t know I had, and I’m excited for the opportunity to help others find that same drive and excitement.

Outside of MSUMA, you’ll usually find me out and about. I love to travel and make it a goal to keep my passport full. You might also catch me at a cutie café with my laptop open, probably juggling LinkedIn and Pinterest at the same time...

I love meeting new people, so don’t be afraid to say hi! Go Green!!
