Meet the Team!

Community Coordinator

Phone: 919.416.2722 - texts welcome!

Due to the nature of my work schedule, I may not be able to return a call right away; however, I check my texts and emails regularly throughout the day.

Emma Sophia Stanion

I'm Emma Sophia (she/her) and I am the Community Coordinator for 3rd Beall.

This is my first year at NCSSM. I joined the team as a Community Coordinator in November of 2024, but I am a long-time member of the Unicorn family. My momma is an alumna (class of '88) and after moving to Durham for High School she decided she loved it so much that she never left.

I am a graduate of Swarthmore College, where I received my bachelor of arts with a major in Economics and a minor in Psychology. While at Swarthmore took a class in language development, which inspired me to decide to travel to South Korea and teach English after graduating.

While I have gotten the opportunity to travel in live in many places, I am proud to call Durham my home. I am excited to be back, and to have the chance to share my hometown with students who come from all over North Carolina.

I love working with students and am proud to be such an integral member of the support system for the residents of 3rd Beall. The 3rd Beallians are my favorite part of the job!

I look forward to connecting with all my students and their families during our time together!

If you need immediate assistance, contact the Bryan Desk at 919.416.2825 to speak with an on-duty Community Coordinator or Campus Safety & Security Officer. This is the quickest way to get in direct contact with a CC. I occasionally cover duty shifts, and nights that I am on-call are listed at TWAN.ncssm.edu.

Hey! My name is Abby, my pronouns are she/her, and I will be in 316 again this year! I live in Goldsboro and have been there my whole life.

Hey everyone! I'm Joanna Hu, and I'm from Pinehurst, NC, and I use she/her pronouns. I'll be living in room 303, but if you wanna find me, I'll probably be somewhere on campus or wandering around Durham/Chapel Hill. I love dancing (literally any kind), listening to music, hanging out with friends, and crafting (I'm currently getting back into embroidering right now). The people and 3rd beall hall culture are the best and my favorite memories always involve our infamous hall couches where the best laughs happen! You can reach me through text and I can't wait to meet yall!!

Hey y’all!! My name is Sophie Pittman, and I’m from Old Fort, NC. I love going on runs with friends, reading in my hammock, and exploring the city. You’ll find me in room 317, but if not, i’m likely napping in the lounge or grabbing some Harris Teeter sushi! I adore 3rd Beall’s community and our famed hall karaoke nights. You can reach me via text, insta, or snap:) I’m so excited to meet everyone and be an RLA this year!!

Hall Mascot

Beatrice Boogerbutt - "Trixie"

Trixie is the four-legged resident of 3rd Beall! She loves chasing sticks, eating butter when her parents aren't looking, and sleeping under blankets. She is a little scared of teenagers, and is enjoying her time away from them in her much deserved yard.
