Melissa Forges
Higher Education Program Manager
As an educator, it brings me great joy to be the Higher Education Program Manager at the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Center for Student Success and Services where I get the opportunity to be a part of educational journeys, career pursuits, and overall student success. While a first generation student at the University of Florida, I had the privilege of multiple people and programs that were dedicated to my persistence to graduate and it was then, that it became my passion to make a difference helping others achieve and succeed in the same way I had been invested in. I obtained my Master’s degree at Nova Southeastern University so I could do just that as a career! My experience has spanned 14 years in education from teaching at Miramar High School to working at Florida State University’s Career Center and now excitedly, with the Tribe!
