I have been to the federal fall safety course, taken OSHA 30, <br /> and CPR/AED/First aid training. In addition to that, I have always been an avid volunteer in every <br /> realm of my life, from international student diplomacy as a teen as well as student government, <br /> to multiple letters of appreciation from chaplains, pastors, and STEM programs wherever I was <br /> stationed. I am now a Real estate broker and understand the complexity of negotiating quite <br /> clearly. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I would like to be part of making Orange county both competitive, and also mindful of our <br /> environment. This is a unique opportunity for me to do that well. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> I offer a technically minded and organizational awareness of what may need to be done to <br /> achieve goals with regards to bringing broadband to our county. I also offer a mind for efficiency <br /> and resourcefulness, and the ability to effectively advocate for such with third parties. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br />
