Prior to entering the private sector, I worked for the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management on chemical accident prevention and hazardous materials preparedness. Volunteer Experience: N/A Education: I received my Masters degree in Public Administration (MPA) from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2002. My focus was on North Carolina State and local government administration, particularly on public safety and emergency management issues. During my first year of the program, I supported a hazard mitigation planning project for buncombe County, NC. The project team reviewed County and municipal zoning and plans to identify hazards and vulnerabilities, then developed long-term recommendations for adjusting land-use policies to mitigate identified risks. Between my first and second years of coursework, I worked for Wake county Public Safety in a paid internship where I developed peerformance indicators for volunteer fire departments and supported the county's Animal Response Plan update process. During my second year in the program, I took two courses in the Department of city and Regional Planning on hazard mitigation as it relates to land-use policies.)
