About the panel
Zyon Fleming, Moderator
I am a first generation student from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, pursuing my Bachelors in the College of Science studying Commercial Entrepreneurship. My leadership journey dates back to fifth grade as I was elected to serve the National Honor Society. My character continued to develop through middle school as I was elected the Athlete of the Year Award and The Principals Award. As a former high school athlete with a 3.6 GPA, I was involved in the Student Government Association (4 years), and did Dual Enrollment at Broward College during my senior year. As a 4-year senior, my professional character has excelled through my collegiate experiences as listed: Seminole Minority Leadership Institute (Black Student Union), FSU Football Creative Media Intern 2023-2024, Student Made Content Creation Manager (2023-Present), CARE Summer Bridge Ambassador (Summer 2023), BSU Historian (2023-2024), and many more! I am here to serve, and I am happy to serve you all today.
