“I started with criminal justice, then psychology and nursing, until I finally discovered the wonderful world of emergency management. Although my major changed, my goal remained the same – I wanted to help people.”
To complement her emergency management major, Blaze is minoring in intelligence and mass communication. She says the fields are closely related as it is crucial to address communication failures and build collaborative partnerships during an emergency.
“Emergency management and mass communication complement each other very nicely. When a disastrous event occurs, you want to get that helpful information out as soon as possible, whether it is through radio, face-to-face or any other channel available.”
One of her most memorable experiences as UCF Knight is traveling to Tallahassee as part of a field trip organized by #spaucf.
“It was a mind-blowing adventure. We had the chance to network with professionals in our field and explore career options. It also opened new opportunities for me. In fact, after the field trip, I went back for Emergency Management Day at the Capitol to shadow the communications team of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, as well as continue to network with emergency managers and representatives throughout our state.”
Blaze is currently interning at Orange County's Office of Emergency Management and looks forward to graduating next spring. She is also helping fellow emergency management students find their way as Vice President of the Emergency Management Student Association (EMSA).
“It can be extremely daunting to put yourself out there and network and do all the things necessary to start your career in the field. I've been there! I had to figure it out all on my own through trial and error, but it gets easier the more you put yourself out there.”
