Junior Kelsey Moscater has been interning with the UCF Alumni Association since the first semester of her freshman year. During that time, she has become an integral part of the communications team, for which she uses her advertising/public relations major to monitor, plan and craft content for the association’s social media channels, update the alumni website, and run analytical data to see how content is doing and how it can be improved.

Despite taking a full load of classes, serving as an ambassador and the vice president of marketing for 4EVER KNIGHTS (student alumni association), and working on the Street Team for Hunter Vision, Kelsey never fails to bring an infectious, positive attitude and bright, cheerful smile to the UCF FAIRWINDS Alumni Center, where she works 20 hours a week.

As she takes on an additional social media internship with Toyota of Orlando this summer, we wanted to find out more about this bundle of energy.

10 QUESTIONS WITH KELSEY

Q. How do you think your UCF degree will help you in your future career?

A. I’ll be facing the world with a degree from the institution that has provided me with limitless opportunities and the best experiences of my life. I think that everything this university has done for me will set me apart, and I’ll be prepared for any challenge life throws at me. Bring it on!

Q. Favorite UCF memory so far?

A. I got to take photos on the football field for the (nail-biting!) 2013 Homecoming game. The energy from the stadium pulses right through you, it’s incredible. I loved every second of the experience — especially since I got to snap photos of my friend Joe as he was crowned Homecoming King!

Q. How do you hope your leadership will affect the future of 4EVER KNIGHTS, the alumni association and/or the university?

A. I’m hoping that this year’s superstar marketing committee can work cohesively to promote our events to more students, utilize valuable feedback from students and alumni, and, most importantly, I hope the committee itself gets some great experience along the way! The more involved we are with UCF, the more beneficial the 4EVER KNIGHTS experience will be to all of our members. 4EK is the largest student organization on campus, so we have the potential to impact our university in a great way. I think our team can take on this task and work to improve our university, our alumni and the 4EK program.

Q. What’s your favorite thing about your job?

A. Expressing my creativity. When I get to write copy or come up with details of a social media campaign, I love it!

Q. Least favorite?

A. The hardest part is using all my brainpower for my internship, and then having to go do homework, or study, or work at my other job. It’s exhausting, especially when you have to turn down plans with friends or miss out on a fun event on campus. But it’s part of being responsible and building a future, so I power through.

Q. What one thing drives you absolutely crazy?

A. When someone ruins the punch line of my jokes. C’mon you guys, give a girl a chance!

Q. Hidden talents?

A. I’m great at sleeping. Just kidding. I can play the guitar and violin.

Q. If you could eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

A. Does it have to be ONE food? Because 4 Rivers has a whole menu…

Q. What or who inspires you?

A. My parents inspire me in every way. They’ve worked ambitiously their entire lives to build everything our family has, and there’s never been a time that they haven’t given their all to give my brother and me the best life possible. I can’t thank them enough.

Q. Happiest/proudest moment of your life so far?

A. I was having a particularly rough semester, but I whipped myself into shape and pulled out a 4.0, landed a new internship and remembered how blessed I am. I’m really proud of that.
