Belicha Desgraves, Financial Secretary

Belicha was born in South Orange, New Jersey on April 9th.  As a Haitian American, her upbringing in a tri-lingual home assisted in her comprehension of the beauty and significance of other cultures and resulted in her fluency in the Creole language. Her nine years of ballet, tap, and piano lessons implanted in her a high level of discipline that coupled with strategy which she found beneficial for all aspects of my life. She later moved to Florida and transitioned this focus, commitment, and finesse earned from piano and dance under the tutelage of a former Radio City Rockette, to high school flag football by making the varsity team as a sophomore.  As a senior Captain, she led Lakewood High School to the state championship. Throughout high school and undergraduate at the University of Central Florida, she was a continued honors student and graduated Magna Cum Laude from UCF. She certified in Sports & Entertainment law as well as Real Estate & Property law at UCF. A large amount of her free time was spent in undergraduate organizations and volunteering through OES.  Ultimately, her love for education, justice, success, and community stemmed from the strict and dedicated business demeanor of her father together with the love and support of her hard-working mother. She thanks them for instilling those qualities in her. The discipline, dedication, leadership, and versatility she gained through these experiences have led her to evolve and exert her abilities to law school and through a leadership position in BLSA.

 

In the fall of 2009 Belicha matriculated to the Florida State University College of Law to pursue a Juris Doctor degree. She became active in BLSA and in the spring of 2010 she was selected as the Financial Secretary for the 2010-2011 academic year.
