Madison Lawton

At the age of 14, I began working at Publix. At 16, I was immediately trained and promoted as a cashier because of my outstanding work ethic. At 17, I began working as a hostess at Vincent's. 4 months into working there, I began food running because of my exceptional skills in managing both the front end and working with the waitresses as needed. During the ages of 16-18, in addition to working two jobs, I was in high school working on my associate's degree. By the time I had graduated, I had 92% of my degree done. Now in college, I work tirelessly to maintain my academic standards and to push myself to be the best version of myself, making Dean's List my first year at UCF.

Being in high school, I was in the top 50 of my class of 782 students. I was the Vice President of our school, HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America). During that time, I assisted in running blood drives and other fundraisers for the club. In the class, I obtained my BLS certification, my EKG technician certification, my PCT certification, and my CNA certification.
