Darby Hinson
Activities Coordinator
Hey everyone! My name is Darby Hinson. I was born and raised in Savannah, GA, but came to this part of the world for college to attend my dream school, Clemson University. I graduated in 2019 with a Bachelors in Recreational Therapy and shortly after became certified as a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS). During my time at Clemson, I was very involved with intramural sports, Young Life, and all things Clemson athletics. My favorite things include Clemson football, my Labrador Levi, and hiking the Foothills with my husband, Mark.
