I have a master's in education, teaching <br /> experience, and have been a parent in Orange County Schools for 8 years. For the past 8 years <br /> I have worked in content marketing where I have developed skills in communicating complex <br /> messaging in understandable ways through a variety of digital channels. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> As a parent in this district and a strong proponent of public education, I want to see this Bond <br /> issue pass in our community. Strong schools make strong communities. As a resident of the <br /> Efland Community I have seen how over-crowding has negatively impacted Efland Cheeks <br /> Elementary. As a former HES parent I've seen the disrepair and facility needs at that school. <br /> Even as a Gravelly Hill parent, I've seen where even one of the newest buildings in the district <br /> needs some work to make sure the school lasts for many years to come. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br />
