Hello! I'm Theresse!
I am a third-year Business Administration student with a minor in Entrepreneurship at the University of Florida. I strive to strengthen my skills in leadership and teamwork, all while incorporating my passion in the fine arts into my involvement, and eventually, my career. I am incredibly interested in learning about International Business, and how cultures around the world influence the standard business practices of that area. Aside from my academic and professional interests, I love dancing, playing piano, reading, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.

Experiencing in real time some of the differences we discussed in class was definitely a new and unique experience.

FLA is a student organization through UF Warrington that brought in new speakers each week that focused on different capacities within the EIL Model. Mentees also participated in a Case Competition sponsored by Johnson & Johnson. As a mentee with 2 great mentors throughout the school year as well as being a member of the Inclusive Excellence Committee, I was able to grow so much professionally and personally.
