A proud UNC alumna and former student-athlete, Roberts played four seasons with the Tar Heels from 2016-2020. Roberts currently serves as General Manager/Special Assistant to the Head Coach, bringing a deep passion for Tar Heel athletics and Carolina Women’s Basketball. She is the direct point of contact for all external affairs, overseeing NIL, fundraising, strategic partnerships, alumni relations, and staff operations. She also supports the coaching staff in recruiting efforts and roster management.
“I’ve been in coaching and teaching for a long time, and she is just part of the top 0.1 percent in terms of her quality level as a teammate and her dedication to the journey,” Banghart said.
Roberts, who is from Chapel Hill, walked onto the team as a freshman and earned a spot on the 2016-17 roster. She played in seven games that year, seven as a sophomore and two as a junior, providing depth at the guard spot. Prior to her senior season, coach Courtney Banghart rewarded Roberts with a scholarship. As a senior in 2019-20, Roberts appeared in 13 games. She was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa honorary society, earned Dean's List honors each semester, and was honored as a Top 10 Scholar-Athlete, recognizing the top grade point averages among UNC's senior student-athletes.
She went on to complete her master's in sport administration in May of 2022 from UNC-CH, prior to earning her first role as Director of Recruiting Management and Student-Athlete Engagement. She was promoted to General Manager/Special Assistant to the Head Coach in June of 2023.
