Historic Preservation Commission (APPLICANTS SHALL RESIDE WITHIN THE TERRITORIAL
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I grew up in a small suburb outside of Winston-Salem. I spent many years visiting and enjoying
Old Salem, and the rich history of the area. One of the reasons I fell in love with Hillsborough
and decided to move here with my family was because of the rich history in downtown. I have a
background in the arts, and have worked in historical homes (Reynolds House Museum of
American Art) as a docent and volunteer president (SECCA). I have a working knowledge of
conservatorship due to this along with my work at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I think it is of the upmost importance to preserve the history of our town for future generations.
In addition, the history is a draw for tourism to our town and I love talking about our town to
others and highlighting the history.
Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board:
I have lived in various locations in our state, and in our country. I have dealt with various
opinions and those who fight for historical preservation in North Carolina and Mass.
