Background

About Nora Elsayed

As a Sudanese-American student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I am deeply committed to business, activism, sports, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work, as well as the intersection of technology and marketing. Fluent in both English and Arabic, I bring a multicultural perspective to everything I do. Currently, I am honored to be a part of UNC's prestigious assured admittance and Luther Hodges Scholar program at the Kenan-Flagler Business School, where I am pursuing a degree in Business Administration with a specialization in Marketing/Sales. I am also pursuing an additional degree in Advertising/Public Relations at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Additionally, I am a member of the Order of the Golden Fleece, UNC's oldest and highest honorary society, and receive a full merit scholarship. Beyond my academic pursuits, I am actively involved in campus life and leadership. I am the Founder of Evenin' Out The Playin' Field, an organization dedicated to increasing diversity in sports through free clinics as well as Girl Boss Gatherings, an organization that fosters community within female leaders at Carolina. Additionally, I am active in the Minority Business Student Alliance, Community, Equity, and Inclusion Board, and Student Life and Leadership Office as well as participate in intramural co-ed soccer and flag football. One of my hobbies includes poetry, from which I published my first poetry book collection,"What's Left of Me" in October 2023! I’m also a vigorous soccer fan, força Barça! Driven by a passion for making a positive impact, I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences to drive meaningful change and create inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive.
