The beats of Nelson and Tiffany Perez’s love story includes birthdays, beach volleyball, the promise of dessert, a breakup and a Bible.
But, more than anything, it revolves around the University of South Florida.
It is where they were educated, met one another and fell in love.
And it is where their twin daughters, Mikayla and Brianna, are now students.
Those connections are why they have been honored as the 2024 USF Family of the Year. The award is presented annually to a household who shows unwavering support for their USF Bull and demonstrates what it means to be a part of the USF family.
“USF is such a big part of our story,” said Nelson, vice president of trust services for the Clearwater-based Family Network on Disabilities. “Our family doesn’t exist without it.”
