Student Dining Board

Hi, I’m Bobby and I am a junior pursuing health policy and management at UNC. Food is such an important part of our lives, and I’m passionate about providing food options that are delicious, nourishing, and fit the diverse dietary needs of UNC’s student body. I love all CDS locations, but Med Deli on main street tops my list (if you haven’t tried their eggplant squash stew you’re missing out). I’m also passionate about student mental health, and you can find me as a peer supporter for Peer2Peer or staffing the LSN chat service for students. As chair of the board, I want to represent students as well as I can, and would love to hear your constructive feedback on how to improve the student dining experience.

Hello! My name is Christopher Williams, and I'm a senior majoring in Peace, War, and Defense with double minors in Entrepreneurship and Conflict Management. I believe sharing a meal in the company of others is one of the best ways to build meaningful connections, and I am excited to contribute to improving this experience at CDS locations across campus. In my free time, I enjoy rooting for the Dallas Cowboys, laughing, and handling lawn care projects. I strive daily to exude a “how can I serve?” mentality in everything I do, and as such, I am excited to serve as a USG representative on the Student Dining Services Board!

Hi! My name is Jeanelle, and I’m a junior studying Public Policy and Environmental Science at UNC. I’m passionate about celebrating culture and diversity through food while also focusing on healthy options on campus. I’m excited to be part of the Student Dining Board to help bring more inclusive dining experiences to the UNC community! My go-to spots are La Farm Bakery and Bandido’s—I’m addicted to the cheese pretzels and burritos. On campus, I’m also part of Carolina Cupboard, a food pantry dedicated to addressing food insecurity among students, which aligns with my passion for helping others access nutritious food.

My name is Kelly Brozowski and I am a second-year MPH candidate concentrating in nutrition and dietetics at the Gillings School of Global Public Health. Prior to coming to Gillings, I obtained my Bachelor's in Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University.  As someone who aspires to be a registered dietitian, I am excited to be a part of the Student Dining Board in order to promote health and wellness through positive dining experiences. I believe consuming quality, nutritious food is a critical component to student well-being and success. Outside of the Student Dining Board, I am also part of the UNC Marathon Club and work part-time at UNC Health as a dietetic assistant.

Hello, my name is Alison and I am a junior majoring in nutrition with a minor in chemistry at UNC. I am a huge foodie and I love discussing anything related to food! I am excited to be part of CDS Dining Board to help facilitate community feedback, diversify menu options, and improve the overall dining experience. One of my favorite dining locations on campus is the Saladelia Cafe located in the FedEx Global Education Center, which has the best pumpkin bread and sandwiches! I am also involved with the Carolina Community Gardens, Public Health 360, and the Alt Protein Project.

Hi! My name is Jess and I’m a junior majoring in Advertising and Public Relations at UNC’s Hussman School of Journalism and Media. I’m passionate about all things related to food, whether it be reviewing new restaurants or showing what I eat in a day on Tik Tok. I’m honored to be a part of the Student Dining Board and be a voice for the UNC community! My favorite CDS spot that I always find myself craving is Med Deli. Outside of school, I’m a food stylist and photographer who works with local businesses to shoot their menu items and film promotional content.

Hi, my name is Ava Astilla and I am a first-year student hoping to major in nutrition. I am very excited to be a part of the Student Dining Board because I am very passionate about healthy eating and food accessibility. My favorite CDS spots are Med Deli and Bandido’s, and I am looking forward to representing my peers when evaluating UNC dining. On campus, I am involved with UNC Club Tennis, Public Health 360, and Carolina Thrift. I also serve as the student ambassador for Equiti Foods.

Hi! My name is Marli English, and I’m a Freshman studying Public Policy at UNC. I love all things food, and I am especially interested in food equity and access. I love working with the Dining Board because I can get to learn from the community and work to improve my peers’ campus experience. My favorite CDS location would have to be Alpaca, but I am also a Med Deli loyal.

Hello, my name is Jocelyn Wang and I’m a junior studying economics, philosophy, and business administration! My home is in Peachtree City, GA, but my second home is Med Deli, where you’ll catch me enjoying a chicken gyro (with sides of avocado salad and eggplant squash stew, please). You can also find me making coffee at Meantime Coffee Co, leading hikes with Carolina Outing Club, or studying in miscellaneous cafes and tea houses. I am a major foodie, so I’m passionate in serving the student body as a Dining Board representative.
