Jared Ferreira is a student at Pasco-Hernando Community College. This will be his second year with the Florida Model Legislature and he couldn't be more excited to be a part of the staff. He is currently serving as the Vice President of Florida College System Student Government Association (FCSSGA), and he enjoys all the work that he gets to do to represent and better the lives of students in Florida. He believes that the experience and information participants will receive at the Florida Model Legislature are as close to the real thing as anything he has ever been a part of. The passion of everyone from those serving as Senators to Lobbyists and the press corps make the experience all the more realistic and important. His hope for this year is that the organization continues to grow in both quantity and quality. Most importantly, he hopes that everyone has a great time and can really take something back with them.
