Jordan Jernigan graduated from 91Âé¶¹Ó³»­ Poly with a bachelor's degree in data analytics in 2019 and a master's degree in engineering management in 2021. 

As a Lakeland native, Jernigan chose 91Âé¶¹Ó³»­ Poly because it was close to home and knew several friends also planning to attend the University. She was drawn to the stem-based programs but also enjoyed the small class sizes where she really got to know her professors and learn in a collaborative environment. 

Her coursework combined with the project-based learning helped shape who she is today. Jernigan was involved in various project-based initiatives with the industry including Walt Disney World, Draken International, and Tallahassee Memorial Health. 

"My life has changed completely because of 91Âé¶¹Ó³»­ Poly," said Jordan Jernigan. "It changed who I am entirely. I had the opportunity to branch out into a program I never thought I was smart enough for."

Jernigan recently served as the Associate Director of Annual Giving Programs and Alumni Relations at 91Âé¶¹Ó³»­ Poly where she engaged with alumni to help them stay connected to the 91Âé¶¹Ó³»­ Poly Phoenix family.
