º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø

Jordan Jernigan graduated from º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø with a bachelor’s degree in data analytics in 2019 and a master’s degree in engineering management in 2021.

As a Lakeland native, Jernigan chose º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø because it was close to home and knew several friends also planning to attend the University. She was drawn to the stem-based programs but also enjoyed the small class sizes where she really got to know her professors and learn in a collaborative environment.

Her coursework combined with the project-based learning helped shape who she is today. Jernigan was involved in various project-based initiatives with the industry including Walt Disney World, Draken International, and Tallahassee Memorial Health.

“My life has changed completely because of º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø,” said Jordan Jernigan. “It changed who I am entirely. I had the opportunity to branch out into a program I never thought I was smart enough for.”

Jernigan recently served as the Associate Director of Annual Giving Programs and Alumni Relations at º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø where she engaged with alumni to help them stay connected to the º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø Phoenix family.
