I am Aryan Parulekar, your State Vice President and a Senior in the International Baccalaureate program at Seminole High School in Sanford, FL. My favorite thing about BPA is the opportunity to make connections and memories at all levels. Whether it is personal memories with your chapter members or professional connections through your judges or workshops, the possibilities are endless. This year my personal goal is to leave an impact on Florida BPA by starting and growing new chapters in, and near, my region, Seminole County, to grow membership. After high school, I want to attend the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, with a concentration in Finance and Entrepreneurship & Innovation, to one day become an investment banker.

I am Arnold McNeal, your State Treasurer and a Senior at Hallandale Magnet High School Sin Hallandale Beach, Florida! I first joined BPA my freshman year with no knowledge. While in BPA I experienced the different competitions, made friends, traveled, gained knowledge about leadership and so much more. My favorite part of BPA is getting members out of their comfort zone and showing them skills and techniques that will help the in the workforce. BPA is a great organization to be in. This year my goal is to make a difference in our state. Basically to make us stand out from the rest. My plan for the future is to go to Miami Dade College in Miami, Florida and obtain my Associates Degree in Mortuary Science to become a licensed funeral director/ Embalmer, and one day open up my own funeral home

I am Rhiannon Noel, State Parliamentarian of Florida BPA. As a senior at Atlantic Technical High School, this will be my second year of membership. When I first joined Business Professionals of America, I just saw it as a chance to travel and enhance my business skills and abilities. After going through the State and National Leadership Conference, however, I now know that my place in BPA was meant to be more than just a member. Leadership and creating friendships are now what drives my passion for BPA and continuing my legacy within this organization gives me the motivation to do better and help others. Bringing more people into BPA is the goal I have for my term as a State Officer. Finance is my career goal and anything money is fun to me. To a great year of BPA with all of you, we go.
