I <br /> also help to run Visit Hillsborough Hillsborough's tourism initiative. I help with its social media <br /> and internet presence. I also am a graduate from UNC Chapel Hill. I have been in the area since <br /> 2018 and feel as though my experience living in Chapel Hill and Carrboro and working in <br /> Hillsborough could be valuable. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> Being on this board will allow me and my organization to build better relationships with other <br /> visitor and tourism-based professionals in Orange County. It will also give us the opportunity to <br /> share what we are doing in Historic Hillsborough with the Visitors Bureau. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> As I said previously, I live in Carrboro and work in Hillsborough, so I feel as if I have a solid <br /> understanding of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough and how that could work more in <br /> tandem. <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 /> I am an employee at the Alliance for Historic Hillsborough. <br />
