GoHeels Exclusive: Kubin on the Front Lines in New York

By Pat James, GoHeels.com

The first first-team All-American in North Carolina softball history, Christine Kubin played in 17 extra-inning games for the Tar Heels from 1993-96.

Each one, she says, taught her the how to dig deep and find the extra bit of energy needed to get the job done. And although it's been 24 years since she applied that lesson on the softball field, it's still come in handy in her role as a clinical pharmacy specialist in infectious diseases at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, never more so than amid the coronavirus pandemic.

"During the height of the pandemic in New York City, we were definitely in that extra-inning-game-type scenario," Kubin told GoHeels.
