12 <br />Page 2 of 2 Andrea Jones <br />Human Relations Commission <br />Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br />lam an educator with experience as a classroom teacher in both K -12 and collegiate <br />environments, as well as experience in university administration. As a result, I could assist the <br />town in it's relationships with schools and in promoting Town -Gown Connections. My particular <br />passion within my field is educational equity. To that end, I served with Teach for America as a <br />teacher in rural Alabama from 2010 -2012 and as both an instructor and an adviser with <br />programs promoting retention efforts for non - traditional and under - represented undergraduate <br />students at UCLA from 2000 -2010. 1 also have worked as a communications professional and <br />an event planner, skills that could be exceptionally helpful in service on a Carrboro Advisory <br />Board. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I fell in love with Carrboro during my time as a UNC- Chapel Hill undergraduate in 1992 -1996 and <br />feel immensely privileged to have been able to move here last year. I would very much like to <br />give something back to the town that gives me such joy. Although I have listed here the three <br />committees or boards for which I believe I am best sutied, I would be happy to serve on any <br />others for which my experience and skill make me eligible. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />Supplemental Questions: <br />Other Comments: <br />Application information based on an application submitted through the Carrboro website. <br />This application was current on: 4/14/2014 10:23:04 PM Date Printed: 4/24/2014 <br />
