About Tavistock and Lake Nona

Tavistock Group is a private investment organization with a global portfolio spanning real estate, hospitality, life sciences, sports, and technology. In Central Florida, Tavistock is best known for developing Lake Nona—a 17-square-mile, master-designed community in southeast Orlando that serves as a global model for innovation, health, and education.

Lake Nona is home to cutting-edge partners such as Nemours Children’s Hospital, UCF College of Medicine, Valencia College, KPMG, the USTA National Campus, and Johnson & Johnson’s Human Performance Institute, all united by a shared commitment to advancing human potential.

As part of this vision, Tavistock and its education partners established the Education Ambassador role—an innovative position designed to connect schools, universities, and industry leaders to create one of the most dynamic educational ecosystems in the country.

The Education Ambassador will lead the continued development of Lake Nona’s collaborative educational network—bridging K-12 schools, higher education, and industry partners to inspire future talent. This role combines elements of education, community engagement, and strategic program development, offering a chance to influence the future of experiential learning and workforce readiness in one of America’s most forward-thinking communities.
