With this line <br /> of study, I have learned and explored through research and other intellectual work the ways in <br /> which public spaces, especially outdoor spaces, can contribute to our psychological and physical <br /> wellbeing. Promoting these kind of spaces, and their development and use, has become a <br /> passion of mine, as I have seen and learned about the innumerable benefits that they offer. <br /> Furthermore, I used to volunteer for the Triangle Land Conservancy, and Hope Gardens, which <br /> are experiences that have contributed to my experience and passion for the maintained and <br /> supported natural environments within in Chapel Hill. <br /> Most importantly though, I am just a townie who LOVES going to all the bike trails,walking trails, <br /> paths, and parks that the town has to offer. I want to promote these, help them flourish, and help <br /> everyone access them! These spaces have brought me so much enjoyment, and contributed to <br /> my development, and the development of my friends and family, in invaluable ways. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />
