A&T State University. I hold a Ph.D. in Social and Intellectual History and have been a teacher, author (two books) and editor of history. Most recently, I have edited 6 volumes of the Hillsborough Historical Society Journal, and I have been involved in numerous Orange County historical activities. I believe that my background as a grants writer, author, and teacher of local and North Carolina history will be of assistance to a cause that is very important to me. Volunteer Experience: I have been active as a volunteer at my church (Archives Committee at St. Matthews Episcopal Church), as a member of Friends of the Orange County Library, and I have served as former President of the Hillsborough Historical Society and the North Carolina Association of Historians. I have also been a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and the Heart Walk of Wake County. I was also a candidate for the Orange County School Board.
