TREASURER
​
Kyle Sokell
​
Kyle is a sophomore at Wyoming studying Accounting. He chose AMA because it was a professional organization that could help him create great connections. He chose UW because it has cheap out-of-state tuition and it is a major university. When he came to tour the University of Wyoming, he knew it was the right college for him. Some of his hobbies include: going to the gym, going to sporting events like football and basketball, and listening to music. His favorite genres of music are country and rap. Kyle thinks that people should join AMA because of the connections and everyone is friendly. He knows that when people join, everyone is welcoming and open to new members. Another reason that Kyle thinks people should join AMA is because AMA is a great organization to put on your LinkedIn and Resume. He thinks the best part of AMA is the end of year reunions.
FUNDRAISING CHAIR
​
Morgan Brenneman
​
A current senior at the University of Wyoming, Morgan Brenneman is this year’s AMA fundraising officer. With a double major in Marketing and Spanish Culture and oddly a Zoology minor, she finds herself all over campus in different departments. Growing up in Sheridan, Wyoming, choosing to attend UW was simple because she was able to stay close to family and friends while still receiving the full college experience from a larger university as well as providing plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures. In her free time, Morgan enjoys hiking and camping and sleeping in parks, but come winter, she’d rather stay inside to watch The Office, cross-stitch, and draw. As a member of AMA, she finds her favorite part to be getting to know new people within the College of Business and around the community. Joining AMA is a great experience not only to help someone out in the business world by gaining essential skills, but by providing an outlet for students to test out what they’ve learned in class.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
CHAIR
​
Martha Nelson
​
Martha is a junior at the University of Wyoming pursuing a degree in Marketing and a minor in Sociology. She is from Arvada, Colorado but is also a citizen of Italy. She chose the University of Wyoming because it is a credited business school and loves how beautiful Wyoming is. Martha loves to travel and explore new things. She also loves sports, hiking, shooting, and is a french fry enthusiast. Martha joined AMA to get hands on marketing experience that could be applied in real world job scenarios. Thanks to being a part of AMA, Martha had an internship with Epsilon this summer in Lafayette, Colorado and was able to utilize her marketing skills. Martha thinks that other people should join AMA because it's a great way to get marketing experience that is more than in just a classroom setting.
