Transition Advisor
Shannon A. Kelly
Hi! As an academic advisor, I’m deeply committed to empowering students through intentionality and individualizing the university experience. I am immensely grateful to have found and to be in a career focused on guiding students through the intricate and myriad paths of life in higher education – both within and outside the proverbial classroom.
My undergraduate journey at Penn State intertwined Mathematics, Psychology, Sexuality and Gender Studies, and Statistics, which (although I didn’t realize it at the time) reflects my passion for interdisciplinary learning. I’m currently working towards graduate degrees through UF, and I keep finding more programs I want to pursue.
Beyond my career and studies, I find joy as a nail polish aficionado and proud cat mom. Whether we share any obvious interests or not, if you’re a current UF undergraduate student, I’d be happy to talk with you.
Let’s learn from each other!
