My current role at T-Mobile is targeted negotiates for large scale In Building networks. I <br /> have a degree in Political Science from UNC-Chapel Hill, attended University of Tennessee - <br /> Knoxville for a Master s in Urban Planning, and have completed some course work for an MBA. I <br /> am also PMP certified. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> As a parent of a middle school student in Orange County and member of PTSA, I am very <br /> concerned about the digital divide for students in Orange County. I also know that the economics <br /> of cell site development will continue to make traditional cell networks a challenging solution for <br /> Orange County. I believe the Board can benefit from my perspective. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> My participation provides connection to how carrier s think about their business, as well <br /> knowledge of the related tower industry. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> My current role at T-Mobile is not specific to Orange County or NC. I work on In Building <br /> solutions. However, it is possible that depending on the future work of the board someone <br /> could perceive a conflict. I do have knowledge of the people who make cell site build decisions <br /> at T-Mobile. <br />
