I am pleased to announce that I will be joining you as a member of the Nova Southeastern University Alumni Association. On June 25th, I will be graduating from the H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship with a Master’s degree in International Business Administration. I am proud to become an alumna, and I am looking forward to taking advantage of the benefits my membership in the NSU Alumni Association will bring.

More importantly, I am excited for the opportunity I will have to give back to the university by serving as a student mentor. If you are also interested in sharing information with current NSU students that may be beneficial in their career development and/or entrance into the workplace, please visit the Knight Source website at http://www.nova.edu/career/alumni/index.html.

As always, I look forward to seeing you at future alumni events!
