Very excited to have a more flexible <br />schedule that will allow me to be a bigger part of the community now! <br />*Note on Orange County residency. First lived here 1994-1999, moved away and <br />returned to Durham County from 2008-2014, then Orange County again from 2017 to <br />present. <br />Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br />I have not have the opportunity to serve on an Advisory Board in the past and am very <br />excited to now have a schedule that allows for more commitment to the community. <br />Age Range:35-59 <br />Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau <br />Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br />Having lived in Orange County off and on since 1994, I have longevity that allows me to speak <br />about the dynamic nature of the area and the amazing growth and development it has seen over <br />the years. I have been involved with the University, the music community, and the local schools <br />(my son is a 5th grader at Ephesus elementary) and can speak broadly about them with ease. <br />As the former Executive Director of University Career Services at UNC, I have considerable <br />familiarity with the business sector in the county. As I transition my professional life, I seek even <br />further community connection. I have advanced communication and social media skills, <br />motivation and desire, organizational and outreach skills, and time to dedicate to the cause! <br />20
