I bring <br /> many years of experience working in public health organizations on issues including <br /> surveillance, access to health care, tobacco and alcohol policy, vaccinations, and other health <br /> promotion programs. I served as a community health planner and evaluator for a county based <br /> public health agency and thus would bring practical experience in the field to the Board. <br /> Additionally, I bring fiscal and programmatic oversight skills from leadership roles in public health <br /> organizations and prior Board experiences. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I am deeply committed to ensuring that all members of our community are able to live healthy <br /> lives and seek opportunities to bring my public health training and skills to volunteer roles within <br /> the community. I previously served a partial term on the Board of Health and then fulfilled a term <br /> on the Orange County Unified Transportation Board. My tenure on the OUTBoard provided me <br /> with a much broader understanding of the OC planning department and transportation issues <br /> which I would like bring back to the BOH. Since my term on the BOH, the health department has <br /> played a lead role in addressing the COVID-19 epidemic. I am very interested in rejoining the <br /> Board to assist in these efforts and efforts to build back and strengthen our health systems to <br /> best serve our community as we (hopefully) move out of the pandemic phase. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> I would bring public health knowledge and experience to the BOH and experience working with <br /> and serving in a wide diversity of communities in the United States and internationally. <br />
