The UCF Social Media Ambassador program is a group of hand-picked students that help create content for the university, while gaining skills, experiences, and connections that enhance their life as Knights and their futures. As an ambassador from June 2021 to May 2024, I played a key role in boosting UCF’s social presence by advocating through personal platforms, taking part photo and video shoots, and pitching, organizing and filming videos that highlight disability awareness, important UCF events, and my undergraduate journey - which are showcased below.
Wheelchair Accessibility at UCF
____________________________________
In November 2021, I had the opportunity to create my first video showcasing what it's like to navigate UCF's Main Campus using a wheelchair. I also discussed accessibility resources at UCF, offered advice for fellow wheelchair users, and tried out the university's Recreation and Wellness adaptive rock climbing program. The video received over 12,000 views across Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram combined.
Celebrating Disability Pride Month
____________________________________
In summer 2022, I had the chance to share my story of living with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in honor of Disability Pride Month and National Disability Independence Day. The video received over 3,000 views across Facebook and YouTube.
Day in the Life: Student Living with a Physical Disability

In summer 2023, I filmed two versions of the same video - one for Instagram and one for Facebook and YouTube. The video takes viewers through my day as a student who uses a wheelchair, showcasing my experiences attending class and interning at a nonprofit at UCF. The video received over 39,000 views on Instagram and more than 3,500 views on Facebook and YouTube combined.
UCF Day of Giving Hype Video

In spring 2024, I filmed an exciting video to promote UCF's annual Day of Giving - a 24-hour event where people can donate to their favorite UCF programs and initiatives. The video was shared on Instagram and LinkedIn, receiving over 20,000 views.
