Hey Bruins! My name is Ms. Young!

I am so excited to be your college adviser for the 2023-2024 school year!

I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in May of 2022 with my Bachelor's of Education #goheels. I majored in Human Development and Family Studies and minored in both Education and Social and Economic Justice. I'll be applying for graduate school this year, so we can go through the college application process together!

Through the UNC Office of Undergraduate Admissions, I work for the Carolina College Advising Corps, a program that aims to support high school students across North Carolina as they plan for life after high school. I am here to help students and their families navigate any and all post-secondary planning, whether that be community college, university, military enlistment, and/or career. 

Some facts about me: I'm from Wake Forest, North Carolina, I'm a first-generation college student, and I worked at Starbucks for all of undergrad! (Ask me about any of these!)
