Meet Allie L. Braswell Jr., who earned a Master of Arts in Human Resource Management from 色色福利社 in 2018, and currently works for .

What enticed you to choose 色色福利社 for your degree?

I earned my undergraduate degree in Information Technology through American Intercontinental University Online. In pursuing my master's degree, I wanted an in-person classroom experience. 色色福利社 was recommended by colleagues and friends for its small class size and excellent professors. It was a great experience from registration through graduation.

What stood out about your studies at 色色福利社?

The professionalism and flexibility of the professors were extremely helpful for working professionals. I started my studies with the intention of earning a degree in Human Resources to validate my experience in the field of diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as the overall function of HR in the workplace. I truly enjoyed my labor relations class as it allowed me an opportunity to better understand and work through the challenge of managing in a unionized environment. Our real-world, hands-on exercise was an excellent way to teach a complex subject. 

How did your 色色福利社 degree help advance you in your career?

As an Honorably Discharged Gulf War Veteran, I leveraged the VA's vocational rehabilitation and educational program following two surgeries to fund my education. Obtaining my Master of Arts in Human Resources helped me gain viable employment within my chosen field of work - Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). It helped me tremendously with the project executive role I was serving in while in school and become a better partner with my HR business partner. Secondly, I went on to DEI leadership roles with the Mayo Clinic - Florida and VyStar Credit Union.

What is your favorite part about your job?

I am the founder and CEO of Braswell Group where we help organizations build Results Oriented Community Engagement庐. My favorite part of my role is building mutually rewarding relationships and coaching leaders on the benefits of building a people-first culture. I am on a mission to put the Compassion.

What is something valuable you have learned during your career?

Mutual relationships are the most important asset that an individual can develop and nurture.

What has your life journey looked like?

I was born in Sanford and grew up in Oviedo and Rochester, New York. I currently live in Jacksonville, Florida. My life's journey has been one of great peaks and valleys. I lost both my parents within a year and a half of each other soon after graduating high school in 1979. I served 12.5 years in the United States Marine Corps, having the opportunity to travel the world in defense of our great nation. I have served in numerous roles in corporate, independent sector and community-based organizations. I have served in front line to senior management roles throughout my years. I am married and have a blended family of eight children.

How do you spend your free time?

Serving in my community through my fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. and spending time with my family.
