Josh Padgett - Academic Support Center Manager - Dixon Hendry Campus
After graduating from Okeechobee High School, Josh continued his education with Indian River State College (IRSC) and received his Associate of Arts degree in 1998. After that, he moved to Orlando and attended University of Central Florida where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in liberal arts. From there, life took a different turn, and he ended up back in Okeechobee taking emergency medical technician and fire science classes and became certified in both in 2001. Josh took one semester of paramedic classes, but needles turned out not to be his thing. Currently, he works as the Academic Support Center (ASC) Manager at the Dixon Hendry campus where he oversees the Academic Support Center, Assessment, and Adult Education. In the evenings, he also tutors for General Education Development (GED).
In Josh’s spare time, you will find him on the golf course hacking the ball around with his friends.
