I attending UNC <br />Chapel Hill as an undergraduate and studied political science and urban and regional planning. <br />After 7 years of consulting in Washington DC, I came back to UNC Chapel Hill to get a Masters <br />in Business Administration and just graduated in May. My concentrations were in Sustainable <br />Enterprise, Entrepreneurship, and Corporate Finance and Accounting. While getting my MBA I <br />was selected as a Leadership Fellow for the Center for Sustainable Enterprise at Kenan - Flagler, <br />and was also elected as the President of the Entrepreneurship club. I worked closed with the <br />Campus Y, The Cube (social- enterprise incubator on campus), 1789 and Launch Chapel Hill to <br />connect and expose MBAs to sustainable and environmental startups in the area. <br />Since getting my MBA I have worked for a solar developer, and two startups that have center <br />their business around sustainability and the environment. The reason I came back to NC to get <br />my MBA was to grow my business acumen in sustainable enterprise and clean energy, and <br />focus on building smart and socially responsible businesses in North Carolina. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I want to serve on this board because I want to stop sitting on the sidelines and get involved in <br />my local government. I have strong qualities that can benefit the Commission (a business <br />acumen, focus on sustainability and the environment, and a background in consulting and to <br />manage ambiguous projects and provide relevant information to be used in an executive <br />manner), and a perspective that is probably under - represented (as a young adult) in our local <br />
