Boards/Commissions applied for:
Orange County Parks and Recreation Council
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
As a runner, mountain biker, and a parent of children who participate in multiple youth sports
programs provided by Orange County Parks and Recreation, I have broad experience as a
consumer of the facilities and services that Orange County provides. I have also severed the
last 3 years as a volunteer soccer coach with the youth soccer league. I have served on a
conference board where we had to plan and run a one day conference with a budget of over
$20K. I have also had to manage a number of different projects in my professional career, as
well as handle budgets over$1 Million.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I believe that the recreational opportunities in Orange County serve a large part in making this
county such a great place to live and work. I hope to help the county further develop and refine
the already outstanding offerings we have. I have seen how our offerings have grown and
matured over the last 10 years, but I believe there is still much more that can be done to improve
recreation opportunities in Orange County.
