I was a <br />Biology undergrad and a GIS /Geology concentration in my masters program at NCSU. I was a <br />Kenan Fellow 2002 -2004 and worked to incorporate climate change education curricular goals <br />into the then new NC Standard Course of study. I worked with Dr. Bill Schlesinger who, at the <br />time, served as Dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment. As a fellow, I worked in the <br />CO2 forest on Eubanks Road to understand the impacts of Climate Change on local <br />ecosystems. In 2005 I worked with the Greenbridge building group in the planning stages of that <br />project. I am a certified AP Environmental Science and AP Biology teacher as well as an <br />International Baccalaureate Environmental Systems and Societies teacher at Cedar Ridge High <br />School. Prior to teaching, I worked in Public Relations and Advertising in Greensboro and then in <br />Chapel Hill. In my Chapel Hill work, I worked on several commercial property marketing <br />campaigns most notably, Europa Center. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />As I approach the end of my teaching career, I am interested in moving into the sustainable <br />property development and /or sustainable affordable housing arena. I feel like this committee will <br />help me better understand the needs of our local environment and how we can better educate <br />the public about areas of weakness and to become a better steward of the beautiful land around <br />us and how we can grow in a sustainable way. <br />
