My Background

First, let me clear the air and tell you why my information is up on this website for you and many other people to read: I like Carolina, and I want to tell you about it so you'll like it, too.

I'm not getting paid or being forced to do this. I'm writing about my experience because I hope that it will give you a fresh and honest look at what UNC is all about. I hope that you'll be able to think about the questions that are important to you... the types of questions I didn't know to ask while trying to decide on a college.

If there's something anywhere in my information that doesn't make sense or seems strange, give me some feedback. Alright, now on with the show.

I'm a junior from Virginia Beach, VA (yay out-of-staters). I'm still trying to make up my mind about what I want to be when I grow up.

I've been doing the pre-med track in preparation for possible med school applications (which gives me a minor in chemistry), but I'm majoring in journalism with a concentration on broadcasting. Hopefully I can meld these two divergent areas of study and be a medical broadcast journalist. Oh yes, and on the side, I have taken up an interest in health public policy and work with a public policy professor. And I probably shouldn't neglect that I study voice performance through the music department.

I will eventually need to nail something down, I know. For right now, though, I'm sticking with my major and not necessarily sticking on the plan of where that's taking me.

In an attempt to stay focused and hone my skills, I currently work at a commercial news/talk radio station in Chapel Hill - WCHL 1360 AM. You should dial it up on the radio when you come to town to find out about local news.

Outside of worrying about anything after college, I've been involved in many different types of things on campus in an attempt to have a little fun (don't worry, I've been successful). Everything from an a cappella group, to the student news broadcast, to the campus newspaper, to a fraternity.

Below is a list of several of the different organizations that I've been involved with, and you can click the name to visit an organization's site.

Alpha Epsilon Pi (hey! learn more about Greek life on campus)
Carolina Week (campus news broadcast)
Daily Tar Heel (campus paper)
Hillel
National Society of Collegiate Scholars
Order of the Bell Tower
Walk-Ons (a cappella)

Random thing I've done at Carolina that few will get to do: sing the national anthem before an athletic event.
