What inspired you to return to FGCU as an employee? Since graduating from the university, FGCU has been my top choice for employment.
Growing up, I admired the university and always felt grateful for the role it played
in shaping our region, knowing one day I hoped to contribute to its mission. My family’s
connection to FGCU also inspires me. Watching my dad graduate when I was young and
later graduating alongside my sister was a truly special and meaningful experience.
What inspired you to return to FGCU as an employee? Being an FGCU graduate allows me to engage with the university from a place of pride,
gratitude and personal connection. As an employee, I feel a strong sense of loyalty
and responsibility to give back to the university community because of the impact
FGCU had on me. I’m excited to see the future of the university and hope to be a part
of it.
