With over 1 person turning 50 every second due to the dramatic achievements in public health, Orange County is poised to see a 67% increase in persons over 65 and a 43% increase in persons over 85 in the next 10 years. This trend continues through 2030 when persons over 65 will again increase by 42% and over 85 by 70 %. Orange county is a leader in serving its senior population and I want to contribute to preparing and meeting these needs throughout the next 20 years, Although I worked as a chemical engineer for 15 years, I recently returned to school to get a BA in Multidisciplinary studies, with an emphasis on social sciences and the Socio- Ecological Model which shows that the health of an individual is based not just on the person but withing the greater context of his relationships, his community and his society. Because of my interest in the aging process, I am currently completing a Masters in Gerontology from the University of Southern California. Through this program I have been able to receive the training and tools that will aid me in pursuing my goal of improving the disparity in the aging experience between the different economic classes. The research area where I am basing my concentration consists of early depression intervention for the home caregiver. Many home caregivers are thrust into their duties with little to no training and as more residents, especially in the rural areas, are deciding to age in place there will be a need for increased programs to address the adult child or spousal caregiver, many of whom are over 50. I am excited to be beginning this new phase of my life as I turn 50, and consider myself to be a life -long learner who believes that we are all part of something larger and there is purpose to all our lives. My belief system influences all I do and I value responsibility and high ethical standards. I Page 2 of 2 believe that the strategic methods of problem solving I utilized as an engineer allows me to find and evaluate alternatives and seek innovative ways to get things done. I believe in community involvement as I was a member of the School Improvement Team (SIT) committee for McDougle Middle School for 2 years, worked as a volunteer at the Chapel Hill Museum for 3 years, and have been a member of the MAC - Mandarin Advisory Council for the dual language program in CHCCS since it began and my daughter has been part of the program for the past 8 years. As my children are growing up and moving on to new goals, 1 feel that I too must focus my time and energies on the future. I appreciate your time in considering me for this position. Nursing Homo Community Advisory Committee I am graduating with my Masters of Arts in Gerontology in May 2014 from the University of Southern California. My BS is multi disciplinary in psychology and public health. My concentration of study is in environmental interventions to decrease agitation in persons with dementia. I currently volunteer at Galloway Ridge and care part time for my elderly parents who I relocated to Chatham County in 2008.
