The Embody Carolina Team consists of committee members who work throughout the year on our outreach, marketing and partnership initiatives. In the past, projects have included outreach for National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, presentations for Panhellenic sororities and a partnership with the Lifetime Fitness course. In addition, several of our committee members lead the Embody trainings each semester.
Katie Regittko (they/them), Co-Chair Major: Sociology major; Medical Anthropology and Health and Society double minor Class Year: Junior I embody because: Marginalized individuals are more likely to experience an eating disorder but less likely to receive a diagnosis or treatment -- that must and can change. Fun fact: That picture in Iceland? About 2 hours before I almost died driving through a blizzard.
Cassie Teixeira (she/her) Major: Exercise and Sports Science and Anthropology Exec position: Social media/photography Hometown: Washington, NC Favorite Quote: "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." - Friedrick Nietzsche I embody because: you are so much more than your eating disorder Fun fact: When I was in preschool I dressed up like a cheetah everyday because I wanted to be one when I grew up. Unfortunately, there is no major for being a cheetah at UNC so I'm still trying to figure out how to fulfill that dream.
