Here, I held the role of Director of <br /> Summer Tennis and worked for the Parks Programming Office. I thoroughly enjoyed these roles, <br /> as they gave me opportunities to create meaningful, low-cost programs for my community. <br /> Further, I gained a good understanding of the day-to-day functions and operations of parks and <br /> recreation. Outside of this professional experience, I am currently a second-year Master of <br /> Public Health student at UNC, focusing in public health leadership. I can contribute my <br /> educational knowledge of leadership, program development, and community engagement to the <br /> Orange County Parks and Recreation Council. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I desire to serve on the Parks and Recreation Council as I am seeking ways to give back to the <br /> Orange County community. Further, I am passionate about providing recreation opportunities to <br /> youth. As the Director of Tennis for the City of Nappanee, I saw how my programs provided <br /> enriching opportunities for low-income youth to develop friendships, get outside, and try new <br /> activities. Overall, parks and recreation contributes to a community s health and wellbeing. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br />
