* Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
am currently a student at MSU studying Environmental Science with a minor in Spanish. Studying environmental science I feel that I have a good grasp on the environment
and the issues related to the environment we are currently facing. I have also worked with the forest service in the past which helped me understand local environmental
challenges very well. I have worked as well with the sierra club and volunteered with the Grand Canyon trust and at science centers. I also am an avid recreator
* The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of
DEI.
I am a member of the Disabled Student of msu organization and the Students Against Sexual Assault organization at msu. It has shown me that my scope of knowledge and
understanding of people within these groups is limited. From there I have been able to understand the need for initiatives like DEI that help increase these perspectives in
places that make a difference. I am also a member of the LGBTQ+ community. As a bisexual man I feel that I have a unique perspective on DEI.
