May 2025 Member of the Month: Emma Filliben

We are excited to announce UMD AMA’s member of the month for May! Emma Filliben is a sophomore at the Robert H. Smith School of Business studying marketing. Members earn this award for exceptional participation in the UMD AMA through superior attendance and active engagement to support the club’s mission and community.

Emma joined AMA to take advantage of the great hands-on opportunities in the business field. She explains how each meeting has allowed her to grow more confident in sharing her ideas and has inspired her to dive deeper into her passion for design. What excites Emma about marketing is the chance to shape brand identities through the creation of logos and designs for companies of all kinds.

Emma was inspired to pursue marketing about a year ago, after winning an award for best marketing pitch in a competition with 200 participants. She considers this one of her proudest achievements! Since joining AMA, she has been motivated to connect with creators of digital platforms, seeking opportunities to collaborate and gain real-time insight into the world of graphic design!

Congratulations to Emma! We’re excited to celebrate her achievements and look forward to seeing her continue to grow!
