Tarrick, a proud native of eastern North Carolina and a Sampson Community College graduate who continued his education at ECU as a transfer, earned a degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Mathematics. He later completed a master’s degree in Elementary Education with a focus on leadership  which honed his leadership and administrative skills.

Since 1999, Tarrick has been a vital part of ECU’s recruitment efforts. As the leader of the Freshman and Transfer recruitment team, he also oversees outreach strategies to ensure student’s smooth transition from application to class registration.

A lifelong Pirate, Tarrick emphasizes ECU’s unique blend of a close-knit college experience within a large R1 institution. “There are countless opportunities, both inside and outside the classroom, leading to career success after graduation,” he says. “Make the most of your journey—utilize resources and get involved.”

Outside of work, Tarrick enjoys attending AAU basketball games with his children and supporting outreach opportunities through his church. His favorite pastime, however, is spending quality time with family. You will often find him wearing his Pirate Pride around Greenville, exemplified in a purple golf shirt.
