Taylor Rutkiewicz, Class of 2019 — Redefining the Path to Success
Taylor Rutkiewicz, Class of 2019, began her college journey at Stetson University studying Music Education. During the pandemic, she reevaluated her path and chose to pursue trade school instead. Today, she serves as a Lead Manufacturing Technician for AESC, one of the largest electric vehicle battery manufacturers in the world.
What she’s been up to:
Along with earning a promotion to Lead Technician, Taylor had the opportunity to travel to Shiyan, China for six weeks to train under AESC’s international counterparts. She was then entrusted with bringing that knowledge back to support operations in U.S. plants — a testament to her leadership and expertise.
Something she wishes she knew:
“I didn’t need to have my entire life planned out by graduation. Life throws curveballs — and sometimes those curveballs lead you somewhere even better.”
Thank you, Taylor, for sharing your journey and for showing that success doesn’t always follow a straight line. Once a Knight, always a Knight.

Amberley Carlton, Class of 2022 — From Q.I. to Economics and Beyond
Amberley Carlton, Class of 2022, earned her bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Florida and is currently pursuing her MBA at Stetson University.
Her biggest win?
“Q.I. set me up for success. My teachers and the AICE curriculum helped me develop strong study habits, become a better writer, and strengthen my critical thinking skills. I will always credit Q.I. for my accomplishments in high school and my acceptance into college. Q.I. paved the way for my higher education.”
She gives special recognition to a mentor who made a lasting impact:
“I will always be most thankful for Mr. Belcher. He pushed me to pursue a major at UF that I was originally scared of. I’m grateful for a mentor who believed in me so much. He was right — I loved economics.”
Something she wants others to know:
“Time goes by so fast. Enjoy every moment. Go to prom even if you don’t want to. Participate in senior activities, even if you’re tired. Then do the same in college. Succeed academically, but enjoy yourself. It goes by faster than you think.”
Her shoutout:
“I am so proud of how far Q.I. has come since my 7th grade year. The faculty, teachers, and principals are truly amazing. I am proud to be an alumna.”
Thank you, Amberley, for sharing your journey. Once a Knight, always a Knight.
