Once unsure if college was the right fit, Nina Johnston forged her path through the University of Central Florida's Inclusive Education Services program under TJEEI. Here, she's built independence, gained work experience, emerged as a leader among her peers, and even met her future husband!

From getting involved in campus organizations to earning her driver's license and preparing for life after graduation, her journey reflects the impact of a supportive community in helping students work boldly toward their future endeavors.
