Marie Louica

Marie Louca was nominated for the Community Involvement category. This is very important to her because she’s been heavily involved for her entire high school career. She loves being involved in different clubs and organizations and participating in events within the community.

When asked about the impact of Pathfinders she stated, “It has allowed me to practice my communication skills, how to properly handle interview conditions, and how to deal effectively under stressful conditions.” She thinks her interview went really well as the judges seemed to be impressed with her work and performance but she wasn’t sure if she won because there were a lot of other great candidates.

Her favorite community service involvement has been the Florida Public Service Association. It has allowed her to meet other firefighters academy and criminal justice academy students who are passionate about their trade like she is, while also exploring more career fields and motivating new students to become a part of this organization.
