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 1 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 />
