Other Comments:
In addition to the other activities mentioned above, I am also a. Member, Chapel Hill
Chamber of Commerce; Hillsborough Chamber of Commerce; Association for Corporate
Growth-Raleigh Durham Chapter Member, Bull City Forward, a co-working incubator
setting for social entrepreneurs. Co-organized a breakfast focused on entrepreneurship
for the Hillsborough Chamber and Orange County Schools, March 2011. I am
passionate about pushing forward Orange County's economic development efforts. I see
this as a social justice issue in that we're creating jobs for those who live here or want to
live here. I also see economic development as critical to nurture if we want to continue
offering the quality of life we already have while also expanding efforts in other areas --
social services, recreational opportunities for residents. We must have a county-wide
perspective while respecting the unique characteristics of each area or municipality
within. It would be an honor to serve.

My professional background has covered much of the ground that will be
necessary to make this position successful. To pay for my undergraduate
education at UNC, I worked a job that took me to every corner of the
county. While in school, I founded the radio news program that continues to
rank among the country's best. I served as an on-air personality and News
Director at WCHL. These news roles rooted me in the community and
allowed me an excellent perspective on the issues we face.
I spent more than four years employed by the Journalism School on the
campus of UNC Chapel Hill, working with students, faculty and the general
administration. Most recently, I have worked on the client side of media
buying for an advertising agency with a strong base of clients in and around
the Triangle. Throughout this time, I have worked for the Athletics
Department at UNC to make the best experience possible for visitors who
attend Basketball, Football and olympic sporting events.
Experiences from all of those areas color my current skill set, which I would
enjoy bringing to bear on the Orange County visitors bureau board.

Ethnic Background: Caucasian
Boards/Commissions applied for:
Animal Services Advisory Board
Having sat on advisory boards in the University setting, I am familiar with
the professional policy making process and funding allocation. I have also
served as a chairman for a committee granting me experience in decision
making and preparing me for working in a professional political atmosphere.
I am passionate about animals - being a dog owner myself- and I would
love to serve on a committee that addresses the needs of both animals and
the community. My fresh perspective as a student and UNC-CH in
combination with my enthusiasm for animal awareness would allow me to
make a positive impact on the Animal Services Advisory Board.
Chapel Hill Library Board of Trustees
My chairmanship within UNC-CH student government and my positions on
advisory boards throughout the University s administration have provided
me with the skills necessary to discuss policy and funding within a
professional political setting. As an involved student, I am prepared to
extend the scope my civic duties and contribute positively to the community
around me. I began my university career as an English major, and my love
for literature and libraries in general inspires me to seek involvement on
Chapel Hill s Library Board of Trustees. My experiences with community
event and campaign planning have prepared me to serve on such a
committee and to provide a fresh student perspective that may help to
create greater connections between the University and the Town/County.
While I may not be majoring in Library Science, I am familiar with the
general civic purpose of a library and would greatly enjoy serving the town
of Chapel Hill and Orange County in a positive manner.

Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau
I have served on several committees that function to plan events and
policies that best serve the UNC-CH student body. My experiences in
strategizing and planning within UNC s student government as well as my
previous involvement with the State s Board of Governors and General
Administration have prepared me to work in a professional political
atmosphere. As a student pursuing a degree in Journalism and Mass
Communications with a specialization in Graphic Design, I would be able to
contribute both a fresh students perspective in regards to tourism and
marketing campaigns and could contribute my talents in any way possible. I
am passionate about the town of Chapel Hill - not just the University- and
my involvement and connections with the community would contribute
positively to the makeup of the visitor s bureau.
Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Commission
As a lover of the outdoors and fun weekend activities, I understand the true
value of parks to a community. Not only does my passion for parks extend
to the physical locations, but I value the worth that they bring by offering a
space to bring neighbors from the same community together in communal
recreation and activities. My experiences serving on UNC-CH s student
government and sitting on advisory boards for the UNC System s policy-
making functions, I am prepared to serve in a professional political
atmosphere for deciding on policy issues and funding allocations. By
applying for this position, I hope to provide a connection between the
University and town s park and recreation services as well as provide a
fresh student perspective on any advisory committees.
Community Activities/Organizational Memberships:
II m heavily involved in UNC-CH s student government. I have served the UNC system
and community by advising members of Tom Ross administration on various policy
issues. I also serve as a chair for the Multicultural Affairs and Diversity Outreach
committee of student government. In addition, I sit on a committee that advises UNC-CH
s provost on LGBTQ issues and allocates funding to University departments and
organizations. I attend classes at UNC-CH as a full time student and am a dues-paying
member of the Young Democrats. I serve as an executive assistant to the Senior Adviser
within Student Government and sit on the University s Diversity Awards Committee.
