I am a life-long resident of the Triangle, <br /> and I want to give back through public service to the community that has given me so much. I <br /> was born and raised in Durham, having lived in Chapel Hill ever since I first came to UNC in <br /> 2003. 1 am a local homeowner and have owned two local businesses over the past 10 years- <br /> including my present business. I am a committed and contributing citizen who is concerned <br /> about the future of our city and of our state. As an undergraduate student at UNC I received a <br /> BS in Environmental Science, with a concentration in Ecology and a focus on water use and <br /> planning. I have stayed informed about local, state, and national environmental issues, and I <br /> wish to seek progressive and unique solutions to these complicated concerns. Through my <br /> formal education and personal inclinations, I have cultivated a thorough and ranging knowledge <br /> of our local landscapes, their flora and fauna. I understand the underlying ecological and <br /> environmental processes at work within them, and ways in which these processes and <br /> resources can be protected, managed, and sustained. Likewise, I understand the nuanced <br /> social structure of our community in its own right, and against the backdrop of our complex state <br /> and national politics. I have a strong capacity to connect and communicate with people from all <br /> walks of life, to foster positive relationships and engender trust.As a dedicated member of this <br /> community, I am pursuing a graduate education here, and see myself and my family as part of <br /> the local fabric for years to come. I hope to bring a balanced, well-informed, and conscientious <br /> perspective to this board. Thank you for your consideration. <br />
