As a graduate <br /> student at the University of Georgia, I studied urban design particularly how it relates to <br /> demographics. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I enjoy the look of Orange County-trees and unimposing towns. As the population of North <br /> Carolina grows and Orange county receives more residents, this balance of nature and people <br /> stands to entice developers both residential and business. I would strive towards a balance <br /> among the factors of demographics, affordability, housing, recreation and helpful ecosystems <br /> (such as tree cover to lower heat island effects), tax base and economic growth. I want to see <br /> my home county grow wisely. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> What I can say about myself is that I try to reach consensus and respect and listen to all <br /> viewpoints before making my decision. <br /> I am a renter in Carrboro and I believe because of the high percentage of renters in the southern <br /> part of Orange County, I can bring a needed perspective to the board. <br /> Not knowing the personal stories and living situations makes it difficult to precisely pinpoint how <br /> my experience widens the board s diversity. <br />
