Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

*323PER CURIAM.

Dina Porubsky appeals from a final order of the Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission, which affirmed a referee’s decision to disqualify her from receiving unemployment benefits. Having carefully considered Ms. Porubsky’s arguments on appeal and the record before us, we affirm. See, e.g., Parker v. Unemployment Appeals Comm’n, 41 So.3d 1090, 1090 (Fla. 5th DCA 2010) (“An appeal referee’s factual determinations are ordinarily presumed to be correct ... [and thus], if there is substantial competent evidence in the record to support the appeal referee’s findings ... this court must affirm.”) (citations omitted).1

AFFIRMED.
