I am currently the <br /> art teacher at Guy B. Phillips Middle School in Chapel Hill. I am a past president of The Puppetry <br /> Guild of the Carolinas and was a professional puppeteer for 10 years. I founded Maker Camp <br /> CH, a summer camp program that ran for 4 summers before closing due to the Covid pandemic. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I've always been involved in facilitating youth participation in the arts. Serving on this board will <br /> allow me to further that involvement and contribute the perspective of a local art teacher. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> As a teacher, I understand the needs and considerations of young people and their families <br /> regarding community events such as those offered by the OCAC. I ve seen through my <br /> participation in the Paint It Orange subcommittee how this specific knowledge helps the <br /> organization plan for youth events and widen the reach of such events for a broad community <br /> audience. <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 />
