I have worked in California state government staffing an affordable housing program <br /> and been an advocate for non-profit affordable housing developers. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I am looking to transfer my 10+years of experience to my local community here in Orange <br /> County. I have lived here for 2 years, returned after living here 10 years ago, and have 2 young <br /> children. I want to support local leadership in fostering more affordable housing opportunities so <br /> our community can be more equitable. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> I have the benefit of being both a North Carolina native and having lived and worked in California <br /> with greater resources to incentivize affordable housing. I hope to apply my out-of-state <br /> experience working inside and outside of government on affordable housing development to my <br /> long-term home of Orange County and do whatever we can to ensure our community remains <br /> open and affordable. <br /> Do you have any personal or business interest(s) that could create a conflict of interest <br /> (either real or perceived) if you are appointed to this board? <br />
