Majored in southern history at UNC-CH. Docent and lecturer at Burwell School for past 5 years. Have developed tours for the Alliance for Historic Hillsborough as a volunteer. Many call me a local historian which accept as moniker if it means someone a lifelong and dogged interest in the past, it memory and preservation. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I believe preservation is key to the understanding of the past. To walk the ground and view or enter buildings with a special tie to the past allows history be told authentically. Orange County is one of the ancient counties of NC. As a mother county Orange history is critical to understanding huge swathes of NC. Recognition and preservation of historic sites is a major key to that understanding for the current and future generations. I feel I can be an advocate and scholar for preservation in Orange County.
