About Me

I suppose I always knew I wanted to go to a big college.  Raised on college football and a love for the atmosphere of a college campus before I even began to consider where I would apply, I was perpetually excited about one day being a part of a large community of diverse students where unity and school spirit reigned supreme.  I was born in Greensboro, NC, but I also lived in Atlanta, GA and Tallahassee, FL, before moving to Raleigh.  Quite honestly, I had never considered attending Carolina until I moved back to North Carolina, when it became clear to me that UNC had found a unique way to maintain a magnificent reputation for academics while fueling some of the most renowned athletic programs in the country.  It was everything I needed.

When I came to Carolina, I jumped right in and joined the Marching Tar Heels, which has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life, even though I am just now finishing my first year with the band. Within the first week, I had also joined InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, which has provided me with a strong, priceless group of friends. I also knew I wanted to be a tour guide, just because I have always had way too much school spirit for my own good, and I wanted people to love Carolina just as much as I do.

Finally, I am also involved in Service & Leadership Theme Housing, so I am already essentially involved in a club with the people that live right next door.  The sense of community is amazing!

I have been a Carolina student for eight months now, and it sounds corny, but it has been the most incredible eight months of my life.  I have pushed myself, gotten involved, and found Carolina to truly be a place of endless excitement and possibility.  There’s nothing quite like it.
