Stephanie Rodriguez Gomez

Stephanie Rodriguez Gomez completed the iJay Practicum program in Fall 2019 (Cohort 12) as a member of the Marketing Outreach team, graduating from Creighton University that same year in 2019. Her hands-on experience managing store operations and developing marketing strategies at iJay laid the foundation for her international marketing career.

Currently, Stephanie serves as a Marketing Coordinator at Grupo Puntacana in the Dominican Republic, where she applies the real-world business management skills and confidence she developed during her Practicum experience to coordinate marketing initiatives in the hospitality and tourism sector.

"My time in the iJay Practicum gave me the necessary tools and real-world experience to manage a store effectively. It allowed me to apply what I learned in the classroom to real situations, from operations and customer service to problem-solving and teamwork. This hands-on experience has shaped my confidence and prepared me for future roles in business management."

During her time in the Practicum, Stephanie developed expertise in various aspects of marketing and business operations, from customer service excellence to strategic problem-solving. The practical experience she gained managing real business situations at iJay directly prepared her for her current international role at Grupo Puntacana, where she continues to leverage these skills in a dynamic marketing environment.
