Traci Bonds joined the UCF family in October of 2015 as one of the academic advisors for the Knights football program.
As a full time staff member with Academic Services for Student-Athletes (ASSA), Traci works directly with her defensive players to encourage academic success and promote life-long learning. Bonds supplements her advisor duties by also serving as ASSA's Academic Mentor Program (AMP) Coordinator.
Bonds comes to UCF from the University of Kentucky where she worked as an academic services assistant to the Kentucky football team. In 2014, Bonds earned her Masters of Education in Sport Leadership from Virginia Commonwealth University while helping to build Richard Bland Community College's first ever academic success program for student-athletes.
When time permits, Bonds enjoys spending time at the beach, brunch-ing, and eating as much Jeremiah's as possible.
