14 <br /> Reasons Want to Serve Board #1 <br /> The Community Center Park in Chapel Hill has been a central part of my life since moving to Chapel Hill <br /> as a graduate student in August 2013. After I finished school and moved to Hillsborough, it remained a <br /> central part of my life. Before the pandemic hit, I regularly met with a small group of friends to work out in <br /> the park on Sunday mornings. I love the Bolin Creek Trail (especially the recent improvements building <br /> the pedestrian tunnel under MLK) and consider myself one of the unofficial librarians of the Little Free <br /> Library. Over the years, I have observed the seasonal changes in park usage-the playground, fields, and <br /> basketball courts-and updates to art installations. I feel connected to this park and safe using the space. <br /> I would love to be part of bringing that same sense of belonging to the broader Orange County <br /> community. <br /> Diversity of Viewpoints Board #1 <br /> I am a social worker by training and particularly revel in considering how social groups and communities <br /> interact with each other and the institutions that define them. I am interested in the role the County plays <br /> in facilitating access to green space or perhaps contributing to barriers that prevent people from using <br /> green space. As a Colorado native/North Carolina transplant, I think I bring an appreciation of nature and <br /> the outdoors, and as a social worker I enjoy the logistics and administration required to improve <br /> accessibility and equity in services. <br /> Conflict of Interest Board #1 <br /> None that I know of. I am an employee of Duke Clinical Research Institute. <br /> Relevant Experience Board #2 <br /> Reasons Want to Serve Board #2 <br /> Diversity of Viewpoints Board #2 <br /> Conflict of Interest Board #2 <br /> Reasons Want to Serve Board #3 <br /> Relevant Experience Board #3 <br /> Diversity of Viewpoints Board #3 <br /> Natalie C Ziemba <br />
