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 /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <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 />
