About Gillian
Go-To Meal in Area: Downtown Mooresville is just a hop, skip, and a jump away so if you find yourself on it's cozy main street, don't sleep on Big Tiny's BBQ. Named for the cutest dog whose picture is hung proudly when you walk in, it's a great place for Texas-style BBQ staples! On 51¹ÙÍø’s cozy main street I am a sucker for a coffee and sweet treat at Summit.
Hidden Talent: I pick up song lyrics instantly! I hear the chorus once, and I've got it down. I'd be a knock-out at karaoke if only I could hold a tune.
#Why51¹ÙÍø: From the moment you step in town, the 51¹ÙÍø community will welcome you with open arms! 51¹ÙÍø is the kind of place that puts its money where its mouth is when it comes to providing the resources to help students, staff, and faculty succeed. It's the perfect place to become the best version of yourself.
How to Spend Spare Afternoon in Charlotte Area: I am a self-proclaimed outside-y (not to be confused with outdoorsy) person, so I love an easy walk with beautiful scenery. Depending on the ratio of walking to sipping on drinks I'm in the mood for I could go Rosie's Coffee and Wine Garden near NoDa or a long walk around Reedy Creek Nature Preserve Trail. I just moved here so I am excited for more discoveries as I settle in.
