2009-2010 UW-L AMA Board Members

 

President - Ryan Teas
Welcome to UW-L AMA. I first joined this organization as a freshman and have been involved ever since. I am currently a junior with a Marketing Major and Graphic Design Minor. My favorite aspect of marketing is advertising. One of my goals after college is to work for a major company such as GE or Nike. When I’m not working on AMA stuff or school, I enjoy long walks on the beach...haha, just kidding! I actually enjoy playing guitar and staying active through sports.

 

V.P. of Finance -Amanda Schilling
Hey, I'm Amanda Schilling and I am the VP of Finance. Basically my job is to take care of all the financial aspects for the club, which is self explanatory based on the title I guess. I am a Marketing major with a minor in Psychology and will be graduating in December of 2010. I am currently employed at Festival Foods in La Crosse as a cashier, a banquet server and hostess at River Jack's, and a Sales Representative Intern at JT Advertising and Graphics, Inc. When I have free time I love hanging out with friends or going to the golfing range when weather permits. I also love shopping, traveling, Bennett O'Riley's, and country music. I think AMA is going to be great this year and I'm really looking forward to it.

 

V.P. of Programs - Sara Monahan
Hey there, I am Sara Monahan and I am the Vice President of Programs. This is my senior year and I will be graduating in May!

Outside of my studies I enjoy being outdoors and relaxing with friends and family.

AMA is going to be really awesome this year and I’m pumped for everything we’re going to be doing!

Director of Fundraising - Kim Frye
My name is Kimberly Jean Frye. I was born January 17 and my social security number is....Just kidding. I have chosen to major in Marketing with a minor in Public Relations Communication because I do not have a fear of public speaking.

I am looking forward to getting all members involved this semester! Welcome to AMA!

I work at Park Bank in La Crosse as a teller. I enjoy dancing, fishing, and doing anything outdoors. I was born in Kansas so I'm a big Jayhawks fan! If you have any questions regarding membership, feel free to ask me!

 

Director of Socials - Laura Lipke
My name is Laura Lipke, and I’m in charge of making sure we have amazing socials this year! I will be graduating in May 2010 with a degree in Marketing. Currently I am a sales associate at Victoria’s Secret, shift manager at the Holmen Festival Foods, and receptionist at Barge Chiropractic. I am a left-handed vegetarian who loves the outdoors. I transferred here from UW-Madison where I was on the Women’s Crew team, and I still love to row any chance I get. I also love yoga, traveling, shopping, photography, and the Popcorn Tavern. I’m looking forward to this AMA year and hope you are too!

 

Director of Advertising - Paige Brooks
Hey guys! My name is Paige Brooks. This is my senior year and I will be graduating in May 2010 with a Marketing degree. I am excited to be graduating, but also really sad. The years flew by, so enjoy them as much as you can and get as much experience as possible! This will be my second year in AMA and my first year on the board. I received the position of the Director of Advertising for this year and look forward to designing flyers/boards and getting the word out there for AMA. When I am not going to classes, working, or doing homework, I love doing anything active and hanging out with friends.

 

Director of Campus Cakes - Lindsey Whitescarver
Hey, I'm Lindsey Whitescarver and I hope to graduate in May 2012 with a Marketing major. Last year I delivered many cakes for AMA which inspired me to run for the Director of Campus Cakes for this year! At home in Janesville, I work at Kohl's and in La Crosse, I work at the front desk in Drake. I swing dance, play the violin, and do free lance graphic design/magazine/wedding photography in my hometown. Don't forget, when you deliver cakes, everyone benefits!

 

Board Assistant - Scott Horner
My name is Scott Horner, and I am happy to be representing everything that an "official" board member can't! I am a senior Marketing major here at UW-L and plan on graduating in May 2010. I am originally from Lake Elmo MN and went to high school at North High in North St. Paul, MN. I love the Twins, Vikings, Wild and Gophers, and enjoy all watching and playing all types of sports. I currently work for the UW-L campus newspaper the Racquet as an account executive, and just hope to land a good job upon graduation. Hope to have a great last year here at UW-L and AMA!

 

Web Administrator - David Diller
Why hello there - I'm David Diller and I'm the good ol' Web Admin, which means I take care of AMA's website here. I'm a Senior Information Systems major and will be graduating in Spring 2010. I also run the web site for DSP, the business fraternity on campus, and run several of my own sites on the side (when you've been doing it for 10 years like I have, you build up a portfolio). I am a techy at heart so anything tech-related you can probably find me tinkering with. Except Macs, which don't count. If you have any questions about the AMA website please send me an email!
