I am the Sr. Manager of Experiential Learning within the Career Connections Center at the University of Florida. As a first-generation college graduate, former college athlete, and proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., I understand the transformative power of education and experiential opportunities. My mission is to connect students with meaningful internships and global learning experiences that prepare them to thrive in their chosen career fields post-graduation.
In my role, I collaborate with campus partners to track, report, and showcase the incredible experiential learning opportunities available to UF students. These efforts aim to equip students with the skills and experiences needed to secure internships and jobs that align with their aspirations. Additionally, I work closely with employers to help them integrate experiential learning into their recruitment strategies, ensuring they attract and engage UF’s top talent.
I have a deep love for people and am a relational connector at heart. I see, hear, and value all people in all spaces, fostering meaningful relationships and creating inclusive environments where everyone feels respected and appreciated.
Outside of work, I bring a wealth of diverse experiences, including owning a local business, which shaped my understanding of leadership and community engagement. On a personal note, I’m a dedicated mother, sharing my life with my daughter, a playful dog, a curious cat, and five vibrant fish. I cherish opportunities to travel, savor good food, and prioritize rest and rejuvenation.
