Meet Liana! She is a graduate student pursuing a master’s degree in Conservation Technology in the College of Engineering & Science. A Melbourne Beach, Florida local, she chose Florida Tech because of the academic rigor, prestigious reputation, small and personalized class size, applied research-based and quality-coursework-focused education, the variety of stimulating extracurricular activities offered, and the desirable location. As a President’s Ambassador, she hopes to represent the university by exhibiting her leadership, responsibility, and service qualities to foster growth. After graduation, she plans to pursue a PhD and aspires to have a positive impact on the environment and help humanity care for, and preserve, the biodiversity of our planet for future generations.
