In both employment and volunteer positions, I have worked with <br />community organizations representing diverse communities and have made inclusion of <br />such activities an important part of my career and personal focus. I believe in the <br />fundamental right of all people to have full access to public services, employment and <br />living opportunities, and individual dignity. I also believe it takes individuals dedicated to <br />ensuring there is a safe place for those who experience discrimination to turn to in order <br />to help resolve specific situations and to create a broader community climate of <br />acceptance. <br />I am also very, intersted in participating on the Orange County Board of Health, Although <br />the current vacant position is for a veterinarian, should a position for an at-large member <br />arise, I would be happy to discuss such a position with you. I have extensive experience <br />in working with local public health at both the local (county) and state levels as both an <br />employee and as a contract manager.
