About Julian Belanger

I am a freshman at the University of Tampa, majoring in Management with a minor in Communications and Leadership Studies. I am a member of the Presidential Leadership Fellows, the Real Estate Club, the Entrepreneurship Club, and the Management Club here at the University of Tampa. I’m passionate about developing strong leadership, teamwork, and communication skills that will prepare me for a successful career in business and beyond. My professional background includes experience as a certified lifeguard, customer service representative, and retail associate. These roles have helped me build strong problem-solving abilities, adaptability, and people skills while working in fast-paced environments. I take pride in being dependable, detail-oriented, and focused on creating positive experiences for others. Outside the classroom and workplace, I’ve been deeply involved in athletics and leadership activities. Competing in varsity track and field, soccer, and lacrosse has strengthened my discipline, resilience, and teamwork. Through Key Club, Peer Advocates, and Mock Trial, I have further developed public speaking, advocacy, and community service skills.
