| Felicity Ten Brink (’22) earned her bachelor’s degree in multimedia journalism. She knew the career path she wanted to pursue, so UNF's internship programs and Jacksonville’s Top 50 media market drew her in.
However, right as she started her college career, the pandemic hit and she ended up returning home to take her courses online. If that wasn’t difficult enough, she had recently finished a lengthy process officially separating from her biological parents.
Felicity was able to make her way back to UNF to complete her degree, serving as host and reporter for Inside Swoop, where she was chosen as a Gracie award winner by the Alliance for Women in Media. She now serves as the morning news producer for CBS WTTV 4 and Fox WXIN 59 in Indianapolis. Learn more.

Gaby Haddad ('19, '23) wanted to start her own business but wasn’t sure the route to take. She always loved making charcuterie boards for personal events but started to see the potential of making professional boards.
Her master’s courses at UNF helped her develop her business plan, and after she did extensive research on the field and acquired all the necessary certifications, licenses and insurance, G’s Charcuteries hit the ground running.
G’s Charcuteries is a custom charcuterie catering company, turning food into art. They get all their ingredients fresh and source their meats from Bar Molino in San Marco to elevate any event with a gorgeous spread. Learn more.
