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.

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.
