* Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
After 4 years working in the Oregon Legislature & Portland City Hall, I've seen many times how important it is to have a robust ethics framework in place for public
institutions to function effectively & in good faith. Also, my current work is directly focused on bettering the city & county, which I'm passionate about. I believe strongly in
justice, equity, & integrity in the public sector, & would be honored to serve my hometown in a way that is so aligned with my skills, experience, and mores.
* The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of
DEI.
As a bisexual person who grew up in rural Madison County I had major struggles with my identity as a young adult. I went on to work as an organizer with the Oregon
Student Association giving statewide trainings on power, privilege, and oppression, while helping students from traditionally marginalized communities build power for
themselves. 10 years of working in politics taught me it's crucial to check my privilege and create space for new voices and that unlearning privilege is ongoing work.
