Governor
Melissa Oakes
My name is Melissa Oakes. I am a senior at UWF pursuing a degree in management. I joined Emerald Coast SGA so that I could be a voice for the students and to give back to the community. Past volunteer experiences have included Habitat for Humanity, peer counseling, and most recently, the Beasley Park clean up. Once I graduate, I plan to work in human resources in the field of training and development. I am married and we are the proud parents of a five year old little boy. I enjoy a wide range of activities including weight training, reading (spirituality and philosophy), listening to music, and dancing. I am excited to have the opportunity to be a part of SGA!

FWB Senator
MaritaPerry
Hi, my name is Marita Perry and I am a junior at the University of West Florida. My major is Psychology; I am hoping to graduate in the spring of 2010. I work part time at Lowe's and my main focus right now is to try to finish school as soon as possible. I think being in the Student Government Association it will let me get involved with the community, get to know some cool people, learn how to be more responsible and a leader in life. After I'm done with my B.A., I will try to get my Masters in Clinical Psychology to become a Mental Health Counselor for kids.

Andrea Archer
I'm Andrea Archer a senior B.S.B.A.-Management major. I'm a wife, mother of four (ages 8, 5, 2, and 7 months), and full-time student. I'm 28 years old and originally from Omaha, Nebraska but I lived in Denver, Colorado for several years before enlisting into the Air Force. I spent 4 years on active duty. In life, I believe that some doors are opened for you, some doors are meant to be knock down by you, and when all else fails you're supposed to do some demolition work by creating a door for yourself and paving the way for others.

FWB Senator
Matt Brown
Hello, my name is Matthew Brown. I am 22 years old and pursuing a degree in computer and electrical engineering. I joined SGA to become a part of a strong and fundamentally progressive group of students focused on improving the educational experience and learning environment for our fellow students. In my spare time, I like to play guitar as well as cook Italian food. Unfortunately, I am addicted to energy drinks as a result of school; it helps me focus on schoolwork. So, with that in mind, I DO understand different wants and needs of other students to help focus on school.
