Jada Matthews

Office Manager, Beyond120 Program

My name is Jada and I am the Office Manager for the Beyond120 program. I like to see myself as the glue of the unit’s day-to-day operations, HR, Finance, and Experiential programming. My focus is to keep the Beyond120 office running smoothly by collaborating with staff and faculty, serving as a first point of contact for students, and supporting every event and experiential experience catered to our CLAS students.

My journey began with a passion for higher education, productivity, and improving workflow processes. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Behavioral Analysis at UF and currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Mass Communication, Web Design.

Using my experience as a Student Supervisor, Admin Assistant, and UX/UI Designer, I strive to improve workflows throughout the office, enhance our services and communications, and assist in creating intuitive events to help our CLAS students understand the true value of gaining experiential skills while at UF.

Beyond the office, I practice my passion as a Web Design Apprentice for a local startup and staying current with digital best practices. When I’m not studying or working, you can find me taking care of my four-fur babies, trying out new restaurants, and exploring around Gainesville with my partner.
