About Me

Photo of Student Z
I'm a sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill majoring in Environmental Studies and English. I work as a Writing Coach at UNC's Writing Center. I'm also the president of UNC's chapter of UNC North Carolina Public Society (NCPS), which does activism on student-interest issues involving sustainability, student health and safety, college affordability, and voter registration. I'm originally from Charlotte, NC.

Interests

Although I love education and improving my mind in class, I also manage to stay occupied during my free time. I am in the marching band at UNC, which takes up most of my evenings during the week. I also enjoy yoga and try to do it as much as possible, but it has been difficult to maintain a schedule for that while at school this year. Spending time with my dog Buster and cat Missy is my favorite way to pass time.
