* Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
I have worked in corporate strategy and product development roles in the telecommunications space for the majority of my career, but have also been a consultant to the
CDC. My expertise is with developing business models and making executive recommendations for courses of action. I am passionate about delivering connectivity to
underserved communities and believe bringing these services to all citizens will promote economic opportunity.
* The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of
DEI.
The best way to understand others and their perspectives is to get involved and build relationships. I get involved by volunteering within the communities where I live. In
Bozeman, I have been a community coach at Bozeman Baseball and Gallatin Elite soccer. I have also volunteered to support construction and cleanup projects locally.
Building relationships with individuals across the Bozeman community promotes DEI by breaking the siloed cliques, often limited by socioeconomic disparities.
