I ve always realized how fortunate I am in life and have sought to help those less fortunate than myself. I have served on mission trips to help the disadvantaged in St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Choluteca (Honduras). For my Eagle Scout project, I collected over 13,000 books for donation to village schools via Books For Africa, and at my high school graduation, I received the Great Citizen Award for my class. During my time at NC State, I served as a volunteer income tax assistant to help people in the community file their taxes for free.

Change in attitudes can be difficult to obtain, but I want to help promote dialogue to build common ground and remove divisions by focusing on the values that make us all human.

Conflict of Interest: Commission for the Environment Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I initially started college as a meteorology major before switching to business administration, and learned in courses about how human behavior can affect the environment and climate. Before college, I was a member of the NC SAVE club at my school, which enacted recycling on campus and raised funds to protect the rainforest via the Rainforest Trust. For my Eagle Scout project, I collected over 13,000 books for reuse in schools by Books for Africa. About 1,500 books were not in great enough condition for donation, but were recycled with the help of Habitat for Humanity. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I began working in Orange County in October and want to serve on this board to help ensure environmental protection of this beautiful area and to champion environmental stewardship in the Orange County community. I am highly interested in this topic and would work to research and create innovative environmental ideas and goals for the county to ensure a healthy environment for the current and future generations. Conflict of Interest: Arts Commission Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I obtained a minor in journalism while attending NC State and have experience in journalistic writing for the Flyers Focus newspaper at Sandhills Community College and video/radio presentation for the Broadcast Meteorology Club at NC State. Last year, while I lived in Charlotte, I served on the production crew for Elevation Church s uptown campus. I also have a personal interest in music and am teaching myself piano and guitar. In school, I played the violin and trumpet (marching band) performed in musicals, and sang in youth choir. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: The arts are like the petals of a flower. STEM careers are important to making society run,just like the stem of a flower is important in helping it stand upright. The petals add beauty to a flower,just like the arts and culture add beauty to a community and society as a whole. The arts enrich the lives of so many people and are an important staple in providing a community with its own unique appeal. I want to serve on this board to help support the arts of Orange County through existing ideas and to introduce new strategies for continued growth.
