Undergraduate Commencement is just 1️⃣0️⃣ days away, and we’re kicking off the graduation fun with Katarina Jenkins who is graduating with her BSc in Public Relations with minors in Media Management and Marketing! 🎓 

For Katarina, the decision to attend the @univmiami was an easy one. Her mom, a member of the air force, completed ROTC at UM and graduated with her bachelor’s and Ph.D. degrees from the university. As a military child, Jenkins moved every year or two and has lived in 12 different states and countries.

“I moved around schools and so for me having something that felt a little bit like home was really important. My parents both grew up in Miami and UM was such a big part of their lives. I wanted to stay connected to some of the roots that I did have,” said Jenkins.

Throughout her time at #UMiami, Jenkins capitalized on every opportunity she could to enhance her experience and develop her professional skills. She notes that her proudest achievement during her undergraduate career was working orientation and helping new students learn about all that the university has to offer.

“I’m really big on giving back and I really want to be an involved alumni because UM gave me so much. Being able to give back to the university is important to me,” said Jenkins.

Congratulations, Katarina! We can’t wait to see where your next chapter leads you! 🌟🙌
