I am taking courses revealing the financial institutions and <br />economic factors that make up the vast community of business in Orange County. My business <br />education will enable me to work cohesively with the County’s Economic Development staff <br />and faithfully execute the mission of the Economic Development Advisory Board. I have served <br />in local government as a member of the Onslow County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council <br />where I collaborated with community stakeholders to improve youth diversion programs for <br />delinquents and child offenders. I have also served as Chairman of the Jacksonville City Youth <br />Council where I oversaw operations of the city-wide council. We provided professional and <br />leadership development to teenagers and served as the official youth voice of the city. Also, for <br />three years, I advocated youth representation in state government in meetings with NC Senate <br />Majority Leader Harry Brown, State Representative Phil Shepard, NC Secretary of <br />Administration Michelle Sanders, and NC Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest. I developed close <br />connections with staffers in the NC General Assembly and in Governor Cooper’s <br />Administration. In addition, I served as a Governor’s Page, able to interact with instrumental <br />staff in Cooper’s administration and further strengthen bonds I’ve formed throughout <br />North Carolina state government. As Executive Director of the Institute for Effective Change, I <br />met with Congressmen across the state including Mark Meadows, David Rouzer, the Late <br />Walter B. Jones, and G.K. Butterfield. Additionally, I was recognized by Governor Cooper as an <br />outstanding volunteer and steward of community in 2018. I am equipped and excited to serve <br />27
