\"Jessica<\/a>UCF alumna launches entrepreneurial jewelry company<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jessica Almanla, \u201910, launched her very own online jewelry boutique this summer called Total Betty Society. Prompted by a life-long love for anything fashion related, Almanla quit the corporate routine and fully embraced her passion. Now she is the go-to girl for finding and styling statement accessories that won\u2019t break the bank.<\/p>\n

Almanla spent her years at UCF pursuing a bachelor\u2019s degree in interpersonal-organizational communication and was involved in Campus Greek Life as a Delta Delta Delta sister, which she believes created a desire for networking within her community. Total Betty Society fills this role by engaging, inspiring, and connecting women of all ages through a shared appreciation of beauty. She also used these years to grow her social media, public relations, and marketing experience by interning with companies ProductionHub and Shift Marketing. Moreover, post-graduation Almanla worked on social media and search engine marketing with WhosTheBigDog.com, New Whey Nutrition, and Universal Orlando. Because of these experiences, Almanla was prepared to break out of the corporate mold and forge her own path in the business and fashion worlds. These formative years at UCF set the course for her future endeavors, giving her the skills to found and manage a dynamic company.<\/p>\n
