For the last ten years, I have been an advocate for housing that is both affordable and obtainable for those workers in our community who are earning wages at the lower end of the economic scale. These folks are hard workers and often don't have a voice in shaping the conversation around one of the basic necessities of life - decent affordable housing.

I went to a private, liberal arts college that was on a one course at a time curriculum. My choice of higher education taught me excellent critical thinking. I graduated cum laude in geology in 2015 and moved backed to Bozeman. I was a stream team volunteer for several years for the GGWC. I am a board member for Bozeman Rotaract, dedicated to service over self. One of my favorite jobs was as an organizer for Forward Montana, an organization committed to empowering and educating our youth. I am a project manager for a local bank, Bank of Bozeman. My husband has his masters in geology and works for Four Corners Water and Sewer District. We rent in town and pay much more than several of our friends’ mortgages. Working for a young bank, I am excited about newcomers. Growing up in this community, I am hopeful we can help our new community members understand our point of view and the value of every citizen and their unique backgrounds.

(○) No Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences: As a middle income renter living and working in Bozeman, I have felt the housing pinch firsthand. When I decided to move here nearly 4 years ago, it seemed like a growing community with good jobs and attainable housing (compared to other US cities). Since then, housing costs have spun wildly out of control and average income has not kept pace. We have seen friends, highly educated and qualified workers, leave town in search of more affordable living elsewhere. I've attended workshops open to the public and other discussions related to affordable housing in the area. It was at one of these meetings that I met Dulaney Collins, who encouraged me to apply for this board position. It's very important to me that those with the power to create change are aware of this problem in our community. Too many assume that the housing crunch is only an issue for lazy young people who should just work harder to afford an apartment. We need to show this city that hardworking families like my own are asking themselves how long they can afford to stay here. I truly believe that Bozeman can maintain its status as the most livable city if it is able to continue housing its workforce. The things that residents love about Bozeman - great schools, fun restaurants, hardworking nonprofits, and recreation opportunities - all depend on workers being able to afford to live here. Stable housing also supports better community engagement and higher investment in local businesses. More than anything, my dream is to be able to raise a family here and continue giving back, and I know others want the same.
