I believe in building healthy activities into our lifestyles to improve personal and public health. I have a master's in nursing education and believe education is essential in changing our world for the better. Bicycling for transportation 262 addresses health of our bodies, of our communities, and global warming all while reducing dependence on oil and gas! While I have not served on a public board before, I am enthusiastic about encouraging our citizens and government to endorse bicycling and would like to be considered for being of service to the community by working on the Bicycle Advisory Board.

I completed a minor with as many classes as I took towards my Geography degree including masters classes, attended additional 264 lectures, co-started an undergraduate urban planning club, completed internships and worked with professors and the department. In 2013 I studied sustainable transportation in Germany, Denmark, and Sweden with a research focus on comparative land use policy conducive to bikeable communities. I am passionate about both sustainable transportation planning and a daily bike commuter. While living in Washington, D.C. and interning for The National Geographic Society I rode my bike to work every day, including through one minor hurricane and attended events through the Washington Area Bicycle Association and Women & Bicycles. Since moving to Bozeman I have rarely used my car for trips within the town. I have also been volunteering at the Bike Kitchen to gain more hands-on skills. While working at KERBspace, a Bozeman-based digital wayfinding startup I work to consider how information about cycle infrastructure and other relevant information can improve bikablity in Bozeman and elsewhere.
