My education is in business (MBA). As a <br /> minority, and with today's political climate, I am concerned that low income housing will become <br /> less of a priority. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I hope that I can bring another point of view to the growth and housing in Orange County. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> I have lived in public housing with my children at one point in my life. My parents were <br /> professionals who served their community. I think that having experience being working class <br /> and low income has given me a unique background. I also have seen what gentrification can do <br /> to a neighborhood. <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 /> Economic Development Advisory Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) <br /> Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board <br />
