Advisory Board on Aging
As a person who is aging I recognize the necessity of recognizing how this
process effects people physically and mentally. I have worked as a geriatric
social worker and am a long time believer in the connection of maintaining
physical and mental activities as well as connection to the larger community
to help people age with integrity and dignity. Recently retiring as a high
school teacher, I clearly see the importance of maintaining ties to a larger
community to lessen the isolation created with retirement. I would like the
opportunity to bring my ideas to a larger group in order to be more inclusive
of the aging population.
Hillsborough Planning Board
As a life long walker and cyclist, I would be able to help make this
community plan for these as well as possible expanded public
transportation as Hillsborough grows.

I am passionate about preserving the unique charm of Hillsborough, and
building a livable, economically strong community while protecting our
natural resources for the enjoyment of future generations. I am a results-
driven professional with a long history of community involvement, stemming
from my active participation in my childrens education. I have deep roots in
Hillsborough, my ancestors are buried in the cemetary of my church. I am a
successful and established licensed Realtor in Hillsborough, with 23 years
of experience both here and in California. I have had the pleasure of selling
Orange County, NC to the hundreds of families who I have worked with over
the last 12 years when they are choosing Hillsborough as a place to call
home. I own a farm in Eastern Orange County, where we have raised our
children in Hillsborough schools. We also own a rental property on Union St.
in the Historic District. Our eldest daughter and grand daughter live in
Hillsborough as well. It is important to me that Orange County growth is
managed in a responsible way.

Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards:
Work Experience: I am a program associate for MDC in Chapel Hill and work for a
community college initiative that involves over 130 community colleges around the
country. MDC is a social justice non-profit that demonstrates how programs and
practices can bridge the gap between opportunity and those left behind by the changing
economy. I have experience in writing and judging grant proposals and applications as
well as planning and overseeing peer-learning events (conferences and summits) as
small as 20 professionals in attendance and as large as 1,400. Prior to my work at MDC,
I was a fundraising director for a campaign for the Florida State House.
Volunteer Experience: Most recently I've fostered dogs. Through 2002 1 volunteered for
Girl Scouts and worked with young girls as well as young women. Since my arrival in
North Carolina in 2006, health reasons have kept me from volunteering, but I'm better
now and would like to be more active in my community.
Education: I have a bachelors degree from Guilford College in Greensboro, NC. I
majored in political science and international studies and studied in Guadalajara, Mexico
for a year. In 2002-03, 1 was the President of Guilford's Student Union and organized and
carried out a variety of events for the student body. I was also a representative for two
years while at Guilford to the Student Senate. I expect to go back to school for a masters
in public administration in the next few years.

I'm a young professional love Hillsborough and now that I am in good health, I'm looking
to volunteer my time and expertise to the town and my neighbors. I have a passion for

members from local foster families. STAFF COMMENTS: Originally applied for Animal
