Paul Paschal

My name is Paul Paschal and I am a rising senior at UNC- Chapel Hill. I am majoring in Communication Studies and I am passionate about pursuing a career in marketing and graphic design. My childhood was filled with water bottles, footballs, and practice fields. Playing football since I was five years old, my dream was to follow both my father and brother as football lettermen at UNC Chapel Hill. As a recruited walk-on by former Head Coach Butch Davis, I learned the importance of team work, hard work, and finding a passion for life. While I cherish the unforgettable memories of being part of a top-tier collegiate program, I found my passion was no longer on the field collisions. As my body began to wear down, I embraced the change. I hung up my cleats and have steered my passion away from the physical game to the business of the game I continue to adore.

Since becoming a student attending UNC Chapel Hill I have been granted opportunities of a lifetime. Participating in a number of campus organizations, from Varsity Football to Habitat for Humanity, I have been given the chance to interact with inspirational individuals. Each has uniquely impacted my life and inspired to pursue my passion for marketing, football, and graphic design.

I have included a link to my portfolio paschalprints.portfoliopen.com which will clearly show my desired niche within sports or sports marketing. In my pursuit of gaining valuable hands on experience, my first choice clearly would be to work for a company like USA Football.
