I have a B.S in biology and <br /> am an Energy Literacy Fellow (through UNC s School of the Environment). I m very interested in <br /> environmental and energy issues and believe I would bring an objective viewpoint and an <br /> educator s insight on how to reach and teach a wide audience. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I would like to understand the county s environmental policies and would like to help educate <br /> other s on these policies so everyone can have a voice in our county s future environmental <br /> decisions. I have written grant proposals and managed school activity accounts so I feel I could <br /> be helpful reviewing and recommending funding initiatives. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> I feel that my teaching experience and interest in environmental issues would stay focused on <br /> the current science, practical actions and solutions, and how our actions may impact future <br /> generations. As a teacher, I m especially concerned about protecting our resources for future <br /> generations and am familiar with the despair many kids feel about our future climate. I also <br /> know they have skills and talents they can bring to the table. I would look for ways that would <br /> engage the our youth so they could take part in meaningful actions <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br />
