Four years, Ames, Iowa on the ASSET Board Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board. My professional background is in education and workforce development. In my current role, I serve as Graduate Dean at Montana State. Many of our graduate students are looking to start companies or bring their skills and knowledge to companies and organizations in Bozeman and Gallatin County. Graduate education is at the heart of the Land Grant mission, developing the expertise that our communities need to help solve our toughest challenges. My work in the graduate school spans all departments and faculty from across campus, ranging from art, to nursing, to infectious diseases, to photonics, to education. Graduate students are also particularly vulnerable to the shortage of affordable housing and rentals. When I lived in Iowa, I served two terms on the ASSET Board https://www.storycountyasset.org/ which assessed the community's social service needs (food, shelter, childcare, medical, dental,...) and allocated funding to agencies in the area. This experience taught me the importance of holistic and integrated services to help our most vulnerable community members. My approach in all that I do is collaborative, I emphasize listening and deliberation. In both my professional and community work I am known for thinking about creative solutions and being able to analyze data to reveal patterns and inform decisions. I am motivated to serve as it is important to try to use my skills, energy, and knowledge to help make the community where I live a more vital home for all. This is a first step for me in Bozeman. I regret that I have not yet helped much in the first two years I have lived here. This application is similar to how I was able to serve my community in Iowa. The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of DEI. In my professional role as Graduate Dean and I am responsible for advancing DEI across all our graduate programs. I am committed to learning and growing in my understanding of inclusion and equity. In my professional roles, I have had experience organizing (and facilitating) workshops on implicit bias for faculty and graduate peers, recruiting pathways for students from historically marginalized groups, running a $1M scholarship program for graduate students from diverse backgrounds, and leading a national program to prepare graduate students to teach at diverse 2-year colleges. At MSU, I am working on making systemic changes to increase inclusion on our campus. This includes removing the GRE requirement for graduate admission (a standardized test that is a barrier for many students) and building a peer mentoring program for incoming graduate students. In my community work, the ASSET board was committed to the success of all our community members. References: Please provide name, phone, and email contact information for two references.
