Candidate Statement

Well before my employment at UNC I was aware of its stellar reputation. During my time here I have engaged heavily at department and school level service with the ultimate vision to maintain and advance that reputation as a leading university in the country. Leveraging these experiences, it would be a great pleasure to serve on the Faculty Grievance Committee. My vision as a board member is to actively promote mutually beneficial, fair solutions to faculty grievances should they arise playing particular attention to eliminating the influence of any bias and/or discrimination. As a board member, I will ensure all information will be presented and understood in every case with full transparency. Each faculty member of UNC is critical to its success, as a member of the Faculty Grievance Committee, I actively work to maintain a fair, unbiased workplace to best perpetuate all successes.
