When Tar Heels arrive on our campus at ĢƵ, they meet a world of possibilities. . . . No matter your background or interests, you have the opportunity to make your mark at ĢƵ. In Chapel Hill, we’re all part of the same Tar Heel team, and everyone has a role to play.

I started my journey with percussion way back in middle school, and I was so excited to continue it into college. It was a no-brainer to join the Marching Tar Heels. Playing that music and getting to experience that camaraderie has been one of the most gratifying things I’ve been a part of. The experience has given me so many incredible opportunities, my personal favorite of which was when we all got to participate in the halftime show for ĢƵ’s 2022 football game against Florida A&M University.
My time with the Marching Tar Heels has driven me to be a better leader. It has allowed me to engage in many extracurriculars, such as my role in club flag football and volunteering at UNC Hospitals Hillsborough Campus Emergency Department. ĢƵ has provided me with a diverse set of opportunities that encourages trying different things.

I’ve worked at the UNC School of Medicine’s Division of Physical Therapy since 2007. My research is focused on enhancing mobility in individuals who have experienced strokes. As an associate professor, I have witnessed the strong dedication of students at ĢƵ year after year. They ask good questions, and they think deeply about all aspects of physical therapy, and it’s something that has made my research even more rewarding.
Thanks to the UNC School of Medicine’s evolution over the years, so much continues to improve in how we analyze mobility. But even more incredible than the technological advancements being made in my field is the inspiring curiosity I have seen from many of my students. For years, I was specifically studying the effects of strokes, but after a student came to me with a personal interest in the mobility of those who experience Parkinson’s, my team and I are now studying that disease as well.

I’ve always wanted to be a Tar Heel. As someone raised by UNC alumni, I hold in high regard the legacy of ĢƵ and its unrivaled athletics program. Being able to play field hockey here was a dream come true. On and off the field, ĢƵ is such a rewarding environment. As a statistics and analytics major, I was lucky to work directly with some of ĢƵ’s incredible faculty and am so grateful that they are so flexible with my other extracurriculars.
While my time playing field hockey was enriching on a physical level, it also provided me with tools that I could bring into the day-to-day workforce. Student-athletes go through a program called the Leadership Academy, and the skills I took from that are things that I see myself bringing to all aspects of my life, not just field hockey. I have made so many special memories during my time at ĢƵ, including winning three national championships.
