So far, I m helping the McDougle Elementary School PTA with its grant strategy. <br /> Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br /> n/a <br /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <br /> Human Relations Commission <br /> Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br /> I have 20+ years of experience in strategic communications -from my stint as a Peace Corps <br /> volunteer in Ukraine right after college and as an adjunct professor at NYU s School for Public <br /> Service (teaching policy and recommendation writing)to my time at Mastercard overseeing <br /> thought leadership and eventually stepping up as Chief of Staff to help the CEO and Executive <br /> Chair handle the relationships required during the pandemic and CEO transition. Throughout my <br /> career, I ve always focused on missions that serve people -going so far as to use my time as a <br /> consultant to take best practices from for-profits and share them with my non-profit clients, and <br /> bringing the values and missions of non-profits to my for-profit clients. Across all of these, my art <br /> has been one of diplomacy and bridge building, helping to convince people and groups that we <br /> are stronger if we work together. Also, while at Mastercard, I drafted the company s decency <br /> policy, it s human right s policy and oversaw the creation of it s financial inclusion principles to <br /> help further work with a wide range of governments and non-profits in its work to enable more <br /> economic opportunities in every corner of the globe. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I am a new resident, having moved here for my husband s job with the Oak Foundation. It is <br /> important to me to become involved in my community, contributing in whatever ways possible. <br /> The Human Relations commission feels like a great spot where I can put my experience creating <br /> inclusive and collaborative coalitions and encouraging constructive conversations to bear for my <br /> new hometown. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br />
