Congratulations Graduates!

Chloe-Colon Moore is a deaf student. Growing up in Orange Park, Florida, she didn’t discover her dreams until she came to PHSC. In 2021, Chloe chose Pasco-Hernando State College. During her freshman year, she was a new student in a new city, surrounded by unknown faces. To overcome this, she joined Student Life and Leadership events to network with other students. During the Student Life Retreats 2021- 2023, she had a wonderful time interacting and getting to know people. She met incredible students who became like family to her, forming lifelong connections and bonds.

From July 2023 to April 2024, Chloe joined PHSC as a Library Assistant. During this time, the library staff supported her journey at PHSC. At work, she had a second family and home. The library and the staff will forever hold a special place in her heart. In the future, she plans to study psychology to become a therapist for children and adolescents. Chloe's goal is to further her education by obtaining her Master's in psychology. She is graduating this spring and she will attend the University of South Florida.
