Our Spoto scholars had a great time exploring the University of Central Florida's campus. We walked over 3.0 miles around campus and had a very knowledgeable tour guide who gave us information on programs and campus life. Check out UCF's official website for more information.
I am excited to announce my new role as GEAR UP counselor! It took a lot for me to get to where I am today. I started my journey working hard in high school and earned a scholarship to Coastal Carolina University where I majored in Psychology. After graduating with my BA degree, I moved to Michigan where I served as an AmeriCorps member in the Metro Detroit area as a Certified Prevention Specialist. This work lead me to pursue my MA degree in School Counseling at Wayne State University. I worked as a School Counselor and Safe and Supportive Schools Coordinator before moving to Florida. I was fortunate to work as Guidance Department Head at Brandon High School for the past 2 years before getting to serve students through the GEAR UP program!
