That dream was tested in 2019 after a life-altering car accident, shaping my resilience and purpose. I earned my A.A. at Valencia College and my B.S. in Legal Studies from UCF, and today, I thank the University of Miami School of Law for helping me step fully into my path toward practicing Real Estate and AI Law. I’m forever grateful to Nancy Metayer whose advice at 18—to stay humble and believe I belong in every room— still guides me.

His strength of character, quiet confidence, and a genuine kindness sets him apart. He faces challenges with determination, leads with integrity, and continues to pursue his goals with purpose and heart. As he steps into this next chapter, I am reminded of the words of The Notorious B.I.G.: “Stay far from timid, only make moves when your heart is in it, and live the phrase the sky’s the limit.” He embodies this spirit, and we know his future is limitless.

LISSY MARIA VENTURA MARTE

University of Miami Class of 2026

“Lissy Ventura, Class of 2026. I did not come this far to be average. I came to grow, to challenge myself, and to become someone capable of making a real impact. From day one, I chose discipline over excuses and growth over comfort. As a woman in STEM, I stepped into rooms where I had to stand out and prove myself, and I did exactly that. Every class, every late night, and every challenge pushed me further, and I refused to settle for anything less than my full potential.”

“While balancing school and real life responsibilities, I stayed focused and committed to becoming better every single day. I put in the work, I stayed consistent, and I turned effort into progress. My passion for construction management comes from a deeper purpose and a clear understanding that what we build affects people’s lives, safety, and future. I am walking away from this chapter stronger, sharper, and ready for what is next. This is not the finish line. This is proof of what I can do, and I am just getting started.”
