Hillsborough is my home and I m surrounded by friends and family in <br /> the area. I want to do everything I can to foster health and wellness throughout our <br /> community, and my background provides me with the skills to accomplish this through <br /> education. <br /> Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br /> N/A <br /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <br /> Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees <br /> Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br /> I have worked in higher education since 2007. 1 earned my MA in Communication and Education <br /> at Teachers College, Columbia University in 2012. 1 then founded a teaching and learning center <br /> at the college where I was working and have pursued many improvement projects as the <br /> Director of Learning Technologies. In recent years, I have been working toward earning an EdD <br /> in Entrepreneurial Leadership in Education. Much of my research is on designing and <br /> implementing community-based change initiatives. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I believe that community colleges provide the best opportunities in the higher education <br /> ecosystem to support students at risk through innovative programming and community <br /> partnerships. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> I have worked in education and technology for roughly fifteen years and my prior work was in the <br /> visual design industry a€" both of which used design thinking strategies to inform human <br /> centered approaches to problem solving. I would hope to bring my experience into the group and <br /> also learn from other board members with a skill set deeply grounded in collaboration. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 11/10/2022 11:37:22 PM Date Printed: 11/11/2022 <br />
