CAROLINE GOINS: THE QUEEN OF HEARTS

                Caroline Goins is a 21 year old public relations major at UNCP with one of the most unique outlooks on life that you will ever encounter.  An interesting person with a unique background, everyone finds Goins to be a unique treasure on campus.  A senior here at the university, she is constantly working in her many positions to further the causes and people that she believes so passionately in.  “I love everybody,” said Goins.

Goins is circulation manager for The Pine Needle, a member of the Friends of the Library, a Sigma Sigma Sigma Honor Council member and the president of P.R.S.S.A.  Above all, she is a servant who has a passion for people. 

“I feel that I have no reason to judge someone. My goal is to be accepting.  I like to get to know people on a personal level,” said Goins. 

Goins has one of the biggest hearts around although she was born with a hole in it.  “Not many people know,” said Goins.  “I had surgery when I was little.” 

When Goins first arrived at UNCP four years ago, she lived on campus.  She currently resides in an off campus apartment where she enjoys painting and making jewelry.  Born with a remarkable sense of humor, Goins reflected on being a member of her middle school’s marching band.  “They made me play the triangle because I wasn’t good enough to play anything else,” said Goins.

Goins is a determined leader both on and off campus.  She hopes to one day be an events coordinator and with her unparallel people skills and compassion, that goal is just within her reach.
