Meet Marilyn Ginn 👋
I’m a Sports Administration and Advertising/PR student at UNC Chapel Hill. I bring energy, creativity, and hustle to everything I do — whether it’s managing gear courtside, capturing game-day content, or building fan-centered campaigns. 🏀🎥📣
Carolina Born & Bred
The youngest of five, I grew up in a Tar Heel household with a dad who coached basketball and two older sisters who also went to UNC. Whether it was football in the fall or hoops in the Dean Dome, Carolina blue runs deep in my veins. 💙
Life as a UNC Basketball Manager
Being a manager has been a masterclass in grit, leadership, and late-night laundry room runs. I’ve learned how to stay three steps ahead, capture game-day footage, and make sure every detail runs smoothly — all while being part of the Carolina family.
Why I Do What I Do
I love spotlighting the people who make sports happen — not just the athletes, but the managers, camera crews, and operations teams who pour in the passion. My work with Carolina Athletics has shown me the power of storytelling to connect, inspire, and build community.
