While cinema has been her primary focus, with a background in independent film production as well as an MFA in Film Studies from Boston University and BFA in Film Production from New York University, she is an art lover at heart and looks forward to helping local partners plan events across the humanities. Ms. Schaevitz has expressed a keen interest in sustainable energy and being thoughtful about how we invest in transit and development. We are confident Ms. Schaevitz's connection to the University, her commitment to the arts and sustainable development will be a strong contributor to tourism for Orange County.

I have taught at two universities and one community college. Most recently, I served on a volunteer committee for the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools to review their vocational curriculum. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I am deeply committed to the success of our community college system. As a project coordinator for a STEM project at Florida A&M, I counseled students who would not have been able to afford college if they had not been able to complete their general education credits at the community college. For many students, especially those in rural and under-funded urban high schools, the community college helps build the study skills and academic independence needed to be successful in a 4-year school. The community college also serves the needs of adult learners who need basic academic and technical skills. This is a population that I believe is not always well represented by academic administrators.

Help find the balance between growth/change and preservation Conflict of Interest: No Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I have a background in advertising; I travel extensively throughout Orange County; I am interested in environmental and historical tourism. As a long term resident of the county, I know the parks, the farms, and the cities. I ve hiked all the trails, read the history and explored the lesser known areas of the county. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I am very interested in helping to establish/promote eco-tourism and historical tourism. We have treasures to share! Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees What improvements do you believe can be made so that DTCC better serves the residents of Orange County? I don't know enough as an outsider to recommend improvements. However, I can say that through my work with the vocational training program at Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools, I do think there could be a closer working relationship between Orange County's public schools and Durham Tech. I'd also like to see a close working relationship with the Economic Development Office if it doesn't already exist. Finally, I would like to see greater emphasis placed on adult basic literacy. As a county, I would like to adopt the goal of ensuring 100% of our adults can read and compute basic math at the 8th grade level.
