UCF graduate and Secret Service Director Julia Pierson has resigned amid two security breaches in the White House.

“Today Julia Pierson, the Director of the United States Secret Service, offered her resignation, and I accepted it. I salute her 30 years of distinguished service to the Secret Service and the Nation,” U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson said in a Wednesday statement.

Pierson first came under fire when an armed man jumped the White House fence and was able to enter the executive mansion on Sept. 19. Following that, another incident came to light that an ex-convict was able to ride an elevator with President Obama during a visit to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month.

Lawmakers from both parties urged Pierson to resign after Congressional support for her declined following her testimony on the White House break-in.

Pierson is a native of Orlando and attended the University of Central Florida prior to serving as a police officer in Orlando.
