Alex Pettis

I am currently a fourth-year student at the Rochester Institute of Technology and plan to graduate in August of 2024 with a BS in business administration with a focus on finance and a minor in accounting.

At the beginning of the pandemic, I decided to create an online marketing business which, due to an increase in growth, prompted me to change my major from biochemistry to finance. This business has sparked a new interest in finance within me and I am excited to learn as much as possible.

I am seeking co-op opportunities, preferably within the Rochester area, and am available beginning in the spring of 2024. New challenges and learning opportunities excite me and are what I am looking for in a co-op and beyond.
