Matthew Ricketts is a senior in the Nolan School of Hotel Administration from Washington, DC. He has interned in luxury resort operations and auditing, credit lending, and this summer, hospitality experience marketing. He aspires to absorb as much industry knowledge and experience as possible during his time interning, while directly applying and expanding upon the principles learned from the Hotel School.

Matthew joined Hotel Ezra Cornell as a Digital Marketing Manager for HEC 97 and served as a Marketing and Communications Manager for HEC 98. He is ecstatic to bring the skills he has garnered throughout the last few years to the team as this year’s Hotel Ezra Cornell Marketing & Media Director. He appreciates how HEC unites broad varieties of students with differing passions and strengths to create an imaginative experience chalk full of authentic service, honorable traditions, and boundless exploration of the prodigious hospitality industry.

Outside of HEC, Matthew is an avid traveler, and loves to experience new places, people, and foods. On campus, he can often be found working at the Marriott Student Learning Center, singing acapella, or jogging around Beebe Lake.
