BeeBee Leong’s Embry-Riddle journey began on September 10, 2001 in IT Desktop Support. She learned early on about the importance of teamwork, preparedness, and supporting one another during challenging times.
More than a decade later, she took a leap outside her comfort zone and became the Advising Coordinator for the M.S. in Aeronautics program. This career change allowed her to continue doing what she does best: listening, solving problems, and helping others succeed.
Over 25 years, BeeBee has supported countless faculty, staff, and students, but two graduates hold an especially meaningful place in her story, her sons, who earned their Embry-Riddle degrees in 2017 and 2024. 💙🎓
Her career is a wonderful reminder that professional journeys don’t always follow a straight path. Sometimes an unexpected opportunity leads to the most rewarding chapter.
As BeeBee reflects, it’s the relationships, mentors, friendships, and people she has served that have made Embry-Riddle more than a workplace; it has become a community.
Shout-outs to Mrs. Beverly Davis, her IT mentor, who supported her professional growth, Dr. John Lanicci, who believed in her potential and gave her the opportunity to transition into academic advising, and Dr. Donald Metscher, with whom she worked for nearly 10 years. And of course, to the "IT lunch bunch,” Beverly, Debbie, Angel, Kory, and Patrick.
Congratulations, BeeBee, on 25 years of service, growth, and helping others reach their goals! 🦅💛
