I have a <br /> Bachelor's degree and a Masters degree in geology. In my career, I was responsible for planning <br /> the business. That kind of experience teaches you to look at the big picture, but understand the <br /> details, and how they might impact a course of action. My career also was rich with opportunities <br /> to work collaboratively with others. Things like, effective meetings, facilitation, and strong <br /> interpersonal skills were learned over the course of my career, and would be highly relevant here. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> First of all, I'd like to get back to the community in my retired life. I've been very fortunate to have <br /> a career that was fulfilling. My sense of gratitude is strong, and I just feel the need to serve. <br /> Plus, I like the way Orange County works. And I would love the opportunity to serve a County. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> I am an independent thinker. I respect the opinions of others, and see myself as an active <br /> facilitator in meetings. I think that this skill helps to ensure that the full range of opinions is made <br /> clear. I also was responsible for leading inclusion and diversity efforts in a major corporation for <br /> two years. <br />
