Portrait of Layla Dowdy

Layla Dowdy

Director of Communications

Layla Dowdy develops and executes communication strategy for the Office of Research Communications, which publishes UNC Research Stories. In her role as director, she oversees content production that aims to increase awareness of the value and impact of Carolina’s research accomplishments.

When she’s not promoting Carolina research, she’s dutifully fulfilling her unpaid role as a Little League/musical theater/soccer/(reluctant) dance mom.
