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