Kelshay Toomer Asst. Director, Internships

A Seminole at heart, I graduated from Florida State University in Spring 2016 with a Bachelor's in English and a minor in Communications. Determined to finish in exactly four years, I did not allow my social life to trump my academics. The one thing that kept me focused was imaging myself walk across the stage at graduation. When I first started college, I stayed within my comfort zone because it aided as a safe place for me while I attended a Predominately White Institution. Wanting to find a sense of belonging, I joined The Black Student Union, S.I.S.T.U.H.S and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority where I developed life-long friendships.
