Although I chose a different career path, my family has a long history in natural resources, botany, and wildland fire. I reflect my upbringing through understanding environmental issues and daily recreation on public lands - walking, hiking, biking, and enjoying open space. My best method to relax is to walk in clean air, through parks or forests on trails with my dog. I believe our open spaces should be managed and conserved, where necessary, for future generations. * 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 constant reader. I purposely chose subject matter to enhance my understanding of others and many different topics. Conversation and listening to each other lead to a greater understanding of each other. I have participated in many emotional intelligence and diversity training sessions. Each session provided additional insight in which I adjusted my personal actions and view of the world.
