A Bit About Me
I’m Zach Kalis, originally from Northeast Ohio, and now a student at the University of Cincinnati (Go Cats!) graduating in Spring 2026 with a degree in Marketing and a certificate in Business Law & Ethics. Along the way, I’ve gained experience with UC Football, Parker Hannifin, Warner Bros. Discovery’s Golf Digest, and Amazon, where I’ve been able to combine creativity with strategy across sports, media, and corporate marketing. On campus, I serve as President of the Lindner College of Business student government, represent the college as a Lindner Ambassador, volunteer with the Bearcats Pantry, and stay active as a member of the UC Club Golf team. I also had the opportunity to study abroad in Querétaro, Mexico.
​
Outside of work and school, I enjoy hiking, golfing, and spending time at live sporting events or concerts. I’ve always been drawn to creative projects, whether that’s building websites, editing content, or developing a campaign and I’m excited to continue pursuing a career where I can bring ideas to life in ways that connect with people.
