Meet the Editors

Addy Camisa

Editor in Chief

I joined RMI at the end of my sophomore year in 2019, which is a decision I am so glad to have made. I chose to join RMI because of the program's passionate and kind students and faculty. I also was eager to get involved in the invaluable events put on throughout the year.

My favorite class I've taken at SCU is my MGMT 162 Business Capstone where we learned through case-based studies the ins and outs of real world business practices.

Fun fact: I can't wait to move back to Southern California to enjoy the beaches, food and spend time with friends/family.

I joined RMI my first quarter of freshman year— before I had declared any major, minor, or pathway at SCU. I would love to work in advertising within retail; having all encompassing retail management training is thus a pivotal part of my college education.

My favorite class at SCU thus far was my Business Ethics class where we applied ethics to current day Silicon Valley cases.

Fun fact: I would love to apply my passion for both retail and design through being the creative director for a company in the beauty industry.

A special thanks to Cindy Cooper for her support throughout each publication!
