Hey all! My name is Shellee King. I was born in New Jersey and moved to Kissimmee, Florida when I was 3 years old. I went to Osceola High School and graduated in 2004. I attended Valencia afterward and graduated with my A.A. degree in the summer of 2005. I started at UCF in the fall of 2005. I've always been very involved in band activities, ever since middle school, and have been very involved in the Marching Knights here at UCF. I even joined Tau Beta Sigma, a national honorary band sorority. I marched here for 4 years and although I am not able to march this year I am still very active in helping out in any way possible.
I chose UCF because it was close to home, yet far enough away so that I could be on my own a little bit. It was also really the only place my mom would let me go. At the time I didn't really know what I wanted to do, so that had nothing to do with my decision. After having a few different majors I settled on IDS because I was interested in multiple different things and being an IDS major I had a chance to be more well-rounded than I could be doing any other major. I chose Health Sciences as my minor and Life and Biomedical Sciences and Behavioral and Social Sciences as my two areas.
My short-term plans are to work on my resume and start getting my name out there. I hope to find a job in a hospital or someplace else in the medical field by graduation, this December. I would like to start with some sort of technician position or lab assistant position and work around the field to see if there is something more specific I would like to do. As far as long-term goes I hope to find what I really, truly love to do and stick with it.
