Braden Blue


Ask someone what “success” looks like and you’ll receive a range of answers. For Braden, success is spending time with his wife, experiencing the world through travel and photography, and making a positive impact on the people around him. He feels fortunate that his position as the Communications Specialist for Student Success provides the latter. 

Braden found his professional voice in the radio industry – literally and figuratively. On his first week as an intern for a group of local radio stations, he was asked to perform as a pirate’s parrot for a commercial. This silly beginning ignited a passion for marketing and communications. Some years later, that internship eventually led to an accepted offer for a Creative Services Director position. If you’ve listened to local radio from 2015 to 2023, there’s a solid chance you’ve heard his work.  

In December 2023, Student Success welcomed Braden into the fold. Now, he uses his experience as a first-generation UF graduate, communications skills, and growth mindset to assist students in realizing their potential. If you're ever in need of information about Student Success resources or have constructive feedback to share, feel free to reach out. He's happy to assist.

Everyone deserves the opportunity for success. Braden is proud to help you find yours.
