I have a continued interest in serving on a volunteer basis for both Chapel Hill and Orange
County. Striving for continual improvement throughout the county can be beneficial to a
variety of local citizens and help attract outside visitors and business interests. Recreation
and athletics is an important part of the members of my family's lifestyle. Parks and
recreation facilities provide positive and healthly opportunities for those that take
advantage of them, and are many times one of the first impressions visitors have as they
drive through a town. STAFF COMMENTS: 10/24/2011 Applied for Orange County Parks

Other Comments:

houses. We deeply appreciate the relatively undeveloped neighborhood in which we live
and are committed to doing whatever we can to preserve it and other Orange county
farms from commercial or residential development. STAFF COMMENTS: Originally

Park Planning Committee. My interest in the Parks and recreation council stems from a
passion for hiking and outdoors activity. Locally, I have been section hiking the MTST for

relocate to a protected greenway. I also find that serving on the voluneer councils is an
excellent way to e involved in community serviceand stay knowledgeable about county

Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
My background is in education and health care where my current focus lies. I earned
undergraduate and graduate degrees in science education and a professional degree in
pharmacy. When I was young I remember participating in youth sports which I felt provided
valuable life lessons and also provided the foundation for healthy living as an adult. I continue to
stay active and would like to contribute to the board as a local citizen
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
Given my experience growing up and now with young children of my own, I want to take an
active role helping to make sure limited resources are used in a manner that benefits the most
people and provides opportunities like those I had growing up. I also have an interest in disc
golf, a life long sport that I would like to see the county consider expanding to some of its
outdoor parks as feasible.

Supplemental Questions:
Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT)
Please list the work /volunteer experience /qualifications that would add to your expertise
for this board.
I previously worked as a public school teacher in Chapel Hill before my current occupation as a
pharmacist. I also am a beekeeper.
What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board?
I am originally from Johnston County, which reminds me of Orange county in that there is a large
rural farming area as well as urban areas. I feel having experienced the some of the changes it
went through would serve me well on the board.
What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to
accomplish if appointed?
I see the board s responsibilities to assist with the development of Orange County by evaluating
plans and proposals and then advising the Board of Commissioners on the best course of
action. I hope to assist with the decisions that are made and take an active role in seeing
Orange County thrive economically.
What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related
to growth?
I feel the most important issues currently facing the county lie with encouraging economic
development. This does not mean everything should be rubber stamped, but I feel the county
has missed out on too many opportunities in the last 5 -10 years to its detriment. The Morinaga
plant in Mebane is a positive step, but more needs to be done.
What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth?
As a diverse collection of representatives from throughout the county, I feel the Planning Board
should have a very active role in guiding and regulating growth. However, as they are not
directly elected, merely appointed, I feel their role should remain advisory.
How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of
the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities?
Well, the document linked is over 4 years old. I hope it has been updated. However, I feel working with the Town of
Hillsborough and the City of Durham on economic development districts is crucial to continued, smart growth of
Orange County.
