Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards:
This would be my first Orange County Advisory Board service.
Boards /Commissions applied for:
Human Relations Commission
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
My work in film (live action and animation) and theater (off- off -off Broadway) brought issues
around race and poverty to light, as well as often - underrepresented communities, such those of
LGBTQ and language minority people. My more recent experience is in similar work undertaken
in the context of law and policy, especially in relation to education.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
One thing that unites my two highly divergent spheres of experience is the recognition that
whatever our ideals may be, it is people -- collectively and individually - -that bring about change,
not least of all by taking on opportunities to get to know one another and work for common goals.

I am deeply involved in social justice work at my church and have enjoyed the activities of the

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
