Natalie enjoys running and going to farmers markets to pick out some seasonal veggies! They are really excited to be back in blue heaven and can’t wait to meet you!
Erin went to Carolina and has been on staff at UNC for 16 years. She is married to Josh and has two kids- Harrison (9) and Allie (4). She enjoys eating Armadillo Grill, watching Carolina sports and spending time at the beach. Erin’s heart was captured by Jesus during her undergrad years and believes these four years are highly influential in a person’s life. 

 

Kelly is the co-leader of Cru with Riley. She and her husband Mark love all things UNC and are proud patrons of their local Chick-Fil-A. They met through Cru at UNC, and fun fact, their first date was at a Papa John’s in East Asia. Kelly and Mark just recently had a new baby, Lucy Haywood.
She has four names, and they are probably all cooler than yours. Lauren loves UNC basketball and painted up as a student better than any of us ever have. She is also raising an army of ginger babies, who will one day take over the world, with her husband, Tom. She is a lovely friend with a creative mind that kills every task she tackles. Definitely call her up if you want to babysit those cute little kiddos or need a crafternoon.
The only NC State Alum we could ever love – Kaitlyn graduated in 2017 with a degree in communication, and joined staff shortly thereafter. She is newly married to Mark, a fellow State grad, and they live in Durham! Kaitlyn works for both Greek Life and Cru, and would love to eat chocolate with you while you tell her what it is like to be a student at UNC.
Caroline just graduated from UNC with a double major in Economics and Political Science. God used Cru and Carolina to teach and grow her in so many ways and she’s excited to help students see the ways that God will do the same for them. Caroline loves the color pink, all things music, and Chick-Fil-A Coke Zero. Catch her at any given time with a Starbucks drink in her hand, so so ask her to refer you to all the best local coffee spots!
Bekah is a recent UNC alum who graduated with a degree in Psychology. Nine times out of ten, you’ll find her with a book in her hand, a cuppa tea, or her camera. Her hidden talent is that she has the ability to communicate with dolphins.Although she is an avid lover of all things NYC, she is beyond excited to be back in Chapel Hill this year.
Liz is a 2021 UNC grad who has a heart for all things Carolina. In college, she encountered God when she was invited to Cru her first year and she’s been falling more in love with Jesus everyday since. If you ever want to find her, she’s probably the one wearing quirky earrings and talking about her love for Arby’s and coffee!
Haley James is a recent graduate of UNC with a degree in Religion and English. Peter Eugene is her beloved pup and good luck getting out of a conversation without hearing him mentioned. Her favorite thing is to spend quality time with friends and family, where they usually get too competitive with playing board games. She goes to Starbucks several times a week and is trying to cut down, but has some great tips on saving money there if you ask.
