SCHOLAR

SPOTLIGHT: KYLA FLOOD

Hometown: Brooksville, FL Charles E. Conger Scholarship
What influenced your decision to attend PHSC? I decided to enroll at PHSC because of how convenient all the campus locations are and how affordable tuition is. PHSC also offers a bachelor’ s degree in business administration, which is an awesome opportunity for me to obtain while living locally.
What are you studying? I am studying Business Administration and will have my Associate in Science within the next two semesters.
What is your fondest PHSC memory? My fondest PHSC memory would either be attending my first FCSSGA conference this semester or attending my first on-campus event last semester at North Campus. A close contender would be meeting Emmalise Feliciano, who is just one of the many student leaders I have had the opportunity to befriend while attending PHSC.
Is there someone at PHSC that you admire and why? I admire so many of my peers and staff at PHSC, but one woman stands out in my mind. Her name is Danielle Knight. She was my English Composition professor and was the first instructor I had for an in-person class. Mrs. Knight was a catalyst for my growth with PHSC and inspired many of my academic and extracurricular pursuits. She is compassionate and thoughtful, and I truly believe I would not be where I am today without her involvement in my academic career.
What did receiving this PHSC Foundation scholarship mean to you? Receiving this Foundation scholarship meant that I had proven my academic rigor and potential as a future business leader. It meant that my hard work was evident, and the fruits of my labor were being returned.
What does the future hold for you? I am excited for my future, as I see myself obtaining a Bachelor of Science and working at a company I love. I hope to work on the administrative side of an ecological conservation company. Someday, I hope to own a home on a few acres of land and to be surrounded by nature.
