Angelina Leary ’19 ’21MS and Vincent Drewes ’22

We met through mutual friends in 2015. Angelina just started her undergraduate degree in Psychology, but Vincent was at a different university. Angelina and Vincent were close friends for about 2 years before they started dating. During this time, Vincent left school to work with a startup company. Angelina graduated with her undergrad degree in Psychology and Statistics and began her PhD program in clinical psychology in the Fall. Vincent then decided to return to school to finish his degree at UCF because he saw how much Angelina loved the school! So, both Vincent and Angelina were at UCF for several years together, cheering each other on every semester! Vincent recently graduated with his BS in Aerospace Engineering! Angelina likes to joke that Vincent is getting an honorary PhD for helping her throughout her program — one day Angelina will finish her PhD. The couple recently got engaged in Rockefeller Center in New York and will be married in Orlando on January 13, 2024.
