I remain continually aware of the economic challenges faced by each Family, and how <br /> it impacts their Children. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> The current housing crisis is causing so much stress in our community and beyond. Through <br /> social media, I can see the economic impact reaching far and wide, as people struggle with <br /> employment, which then rolls into their housing issues. Currently, I am enrolled in a Masters <br /> degree program (Advocacy and Leadership in Early Childhood through UNC-W), which had <br /> heightened my awareness and increased my interest in the area of social advocacy. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> I believe my viewpoint as an Educator of young Children, and as a long time member of the <br /> Hillsborough community would be beneficial to the Affordable Housing Advisory Board. <br /> Throughout my career, I have built strong communication skills by collaborating with <br /> Administration, Families, and Co-Teachers. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br /> Other Comments: <br />
