Moved back to the Triangle from <br />Charlotte, where I was involved with the food bank, Habitat for Humanity and the <br />production team for Elevation Church s Uptown campus. Started working at UNC in <br />October and am seeking ways to get involved in Orange County. <br />Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br />None <br />Human Relations Commission <br />Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br />I am an optimist and believe in humanity and its ability to learn from mistakes, improve, and <br />move forward together. I ve always realized how fortunate I am in life and have sought to help <br />those less fortunate than myself. I have served on mission trips to help the disadvantaged in St. <br />Louis, Cincinnati, and Choluteca (Honduras). For my Eagle Scout project, I collected over <br />13,000 books for donation to village schools via Books For Africa, and at my high school <br />graduation, I received the Great Citizen Award for my class. During my time at NC State, I <br />served as a volunteer income tax assistant to help people in the community file their taxes for <br />free. I also organized the Financial Literacy Month program for University Wellness, ensuring <br />students had access to financial resources that aren t offered in the classroom. Lastly, I served <br />as a Student Network Group Mentor for the Poole College of Management to coordinate <br />incoming students professional development and promote diversity awareness. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I have collaborated with individuals of many different backgrounds and I always find it fascinating <br />to learn about other people and their life story. It pains me to hear when others are hurt <br />physically or emotionally simply for being themselves. I always treat others with respect and <br />compassion and want to help prevent and/or eliminate bias and discrimination in Orange <br />18
