Bio:
My Name is Fionnula Davis-Patton or Fin for short. I am a political science major at Hillsborough Community College with plans to transfer to the University of South Florida to complete my Bachelor's degree, and then go on to law school from there. I am currently serving as Secretary for the Hillsborough Community College Dale Mabry campus.

I have had a passion for politics my entire life, and plan on working in politics once I am done with college.
I look forward to serving as Secretary of the Senate for Florida Model Legislature 2018 and getting a better understanding of yet another government office!
