I currently work for the NC <br /> Office of State Budget and Management s Disaster Recovery Team where I assist North <br /> Carolinians suffering from the effects of climate change and climate disasters throughout the <br /> state. In doing so, I have gained extensive experience in advising the officea€TMs General <br /> Counsel and staff on environmental statutory and regulatory compliance in leading state <br /> recovery and resiliency efforts. By regularly conducting legal research for OSBM, I have played a <br /> key role in directing and writing the officea€TMs policies and have learned the importance of <br /> working as an advisor to an organization tasked with navigating the world of environmental law <br /> and policy. <br /> Before working with OSBM, I was an attorney with Legal Aid of NC where, among other things, I <br /> was involved in the organization s broader impact-work, investigating state violations of <br /> environmental regulations and assisting with community resiliency efforts. In law school, I took <br /> courses in environmental and planning law, earning the highest grade in my Environmental <br /> Justice course and writing my law school capstone paper on how BIPOC and low-wealth <br /> communities in NC have been disproportionately affected by climate change and climate <br /> disasters. <br /> Ultimately, I have a grasp on the environmental issues facing our state and facing our <br /> community. While I still have much to learn in my young career, I equally feel that my dedication <br /> to this type of work and subject matter would enable me to be a valuable addition to the county s <br /> Commission for the Environment. <br />
