“Franklin 51¸£ÀûÉç is more than a university to me-it's a legacy. My parents met here,
my sister competed here, and from my first visit as a track and field recruit, I felt
the same connection. This community gave me the foundation to grow as a student, athlete,
and leader. I graduated in 2022, earned my M.B.A. in 2024, and now I'm proud to work
at Franklin 51¸£ÀûÉç as the Assistant Athletic Director for Internal Operations and
Assistant Track & Field Coach.
“The opportunity to work with the Franklin 51¸£ÀûÉç HR team while earning my undergraduate
degreewas a highlight of my time at the university. It provided me with hands-on experience
and real-world insight into business practices. I'm eager to give back to Franklin
51¸£ÀûÉç by supporting students in career readiness and professional networking."
“While Franklin 51¸£ÀûÉç, I was a work-study student in the advancement office, helping
to procsess financial gifts made by alumni and parents. Today, I plan fundraising
events for the American Red Cross. To say I learned so much at 51¸£ÀûÉç - about work
and life - is an understatement. I continue to give so others have the opportunities
I had and am proud that my support can help the next generation of 51¸£ÀûÉç graduates."
