Last week, I had the opportunity to hear the top 4 teams of ninth grade students at Osceola High School present their resolutions to the shared initiative case challenge as part of the 3DE program led by Junior Achievement of Central Florida. I had a wonderful time serving as judge alongside my good friends and Junior Achievement of Central Florida representatives, Laura May and Amy Vanz. We had a great time seeing how these students have grown throughout the program! If you’d like to get involved with Junior Achievement of Central Florida, whether it be through joining the JACF Leadership Council and/or signing up as a volunteer, please feel free to reach out!

Last night, I had the privilege of celebrating some incredible Central Florida leaders at Junior Achievement of Central Florida’s 47th Annual Hall of Fame. Congratulations to all the awardees—your dedication to our Central Florida community is truly inspiring! As a member of the JACF Leadership Council, a passionate group of emerging professionals, I’m grateful for the opportunity to support JA’s mission of preparing future generations to enter a global workforce and economy. By volunteering in classrooms and helping empower students with the skills they need to succeed, we’re investing in the leaders of tomorrow. Here’s to fostering the next generation of achievers!
