ZIPS Car Wash revealed its latest episode of “Car Wash Convos™” today featuring Paulina Paris, sophomore guard on the University of North Carolina Women’s Basketball team and an exercise and sport science major. Paulina’s episode is the 15th to be released this season on both YouTube and Instagram through ZIPS collaboration with Learfield and Opendorse.
Paulina rides shotgun to former UNC student-athlete Kaitlyn Schmidt, who returns for Season 2 as ZIPS’ host of “Car Wash Convos™”. Kaitlyn, a recent graduate from UNC-Chapel Hill with a bachelor’s degree in media and journalism takes fans on a fun journey through ZIPS Car Wash in Holly Springs, NC, to shine some light on Paulina’s quirky pre-game superstitions, the meaning behind why she wears the number 2 jersey, and more.
“I had a great time being part of Car Wash Convos and I’m proud to represent my team and my school in this engaging video series,” said Paulina Paris.
Paulina joined the UNC Women’s Basketball team for the 2022-23 season after being ranked as the No. 27 player in the country in her recruiting class by ESPN. She appeared in all 33 games during her freshmen year and was named to the All-ACC Academic Team and ACC Freshman of the Week. This season, Paulina has appeared in 15 games, averaging 5.9 points per game.
“Paulina is a talented, athletic guard who is doing an amazing job building upon her success as a true freshman last season,” said Rebecca Latacz, Chief Marketing Officer, ZIPS Car Wash. “We’re excited to follow her career and see where her athletic drive and determination take her, both on and off the court,” she added.
Paulina is the third UNC student athlete to be featured this season in Car Wash Convos™ and the second female student-athlete to represent UNC in the 22-episode series of Season 2. ZIPS’ male and female student-athlete roster was secured through a collaboration between Learfield – the media and technology company powering college sports and the universities’ athletics multimedia rights holder – and NIL marketplace leader Opendorse. Season 1 resulted in more than 4 million impressions and over 2 million video views.
