About Javonte Neal

As a first-generation student from Anderson, Indiana, I’ve dedicated myself to creating opportunities and uplifting underrepresented voices. With a B.S. in Psychology and minors in Criminal Justice from Central State University, I’ve combined strategic thinking, creativity, and interpersonal skills to lead across media, advocacy, and business. I now serve as a Commercial Inside Sales Representative at Gordon Food Service, supporting over 150+ active customer accounts and helping clients meet their foodservice needs through consultative selling and relationship-first service. After being offered a 10-week rotational internship with GFS—one of only a handful selected nationwide—I was offered a full-time role just 4 weeks in, proudly bringing HBCU talent into a competitive corporate space.My leadership experience spans multiple areas of campus life. As Mister Junior and Mister Senior, I led outreach for a student body of over coordinated campus-wide events, and partnered with administration to increase student visibility and engagement. I’ve held high-impact media roles with Columbus City Council and Advocate Aurora Health, creating community-facing press releases, digital campaigns, and multimedia content that reached thousands across the Midwest. Whether I was interviewing peers for The Vibe Organization, managing live sports coverage with Institutional Advancement, or directing social strategy for orgs like Marauder Men of Distinction and Lights Camera Action, I’ve stayed rooted in purpose. Backed by proven experience in sales enablement, DEI advocacy, and content creation, I’m committed to using storytelling, strategy, and service to drive inclusive impact wherever I go.
