My name is Emily Floyd (she/her), and I am a student at UNC-Chapel Hill, double-majoring in Business and Political Science with a minor in Geographic Information Science. Before attending UNC, I earned my Associate in Arts and a business certificate from my local community college, where I also founded a business club that launched a community book-sharing initiative to expand access to educational resources.
I bring a strong foundation in leadership and service, having organized campus-wide events, mentored peers in technology and design, and built partnerships with institutions such as Wake Forest University. I have also completed business coursework at NYU and studied abroad in France through a partnership with the University of Bordeaux. These experiences strengthened my commitment to entrepreneurship and global collaboration.
I was drawn to NEX GEN CEO because of its mission to empower young entrepreneurs to create meaningful change through business. In my role as Director of Recruitment, I am excited to connect with passionate students and help provide them with opportunities to grow as leaders and innovators within the organization.
