With degrees in marketing and <br /> education from the University of Georgia and post-baccalaureate studies in art and design at <br /> Oregon State University, I bring both creative and strategic perspectives to the table. Across <br /> roles in nonprofit-driven branding, teaching, higher education marketing, and my current work <br /> as Trademarks and Licensing Coordinator at UNC-Chapel Hill, I have collaborated with diverse <br /> stakeholders, assessed creative work for clarity and impact and helped organizations express <br /> who they are with authenticity and purpose. This blend of creative training, strategic thinking <br /> and experience evaluating artistic and design-driven materials aligns naturally with the <br /> Commission's mission to support artistic growth, steward public resources and champion <br /> cultural expression throughout Orange County. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I am eager to deepen my connection to my new home of Chapel Hill and contribute to a <br /> community where creativity is part of the everyday fabric. My interest in the arts has been both <br /> personal and professional, through painting, design and contemporary art plus roles that sit at <br /> the intersection of creativity, strategy and public impact respectively. Serving on the <br /> Commission would allow me to use that experience to support artists and organizations whose <br /> work strengthens the cultural landscape of Orange County. I am drawn to the Commission's <br /> role in funding and advising as well as envisioning what artistic life in the county can be. <br /> Contributing to that kind of forward-looking, community-centered work feels like a natural <br /> extension of what motivates me professionally and personally. <br />
