Where, how long, and what Board?
Economic Vitality Board from October 2023, scheduled to end December 2023.
* Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
I am interested in continuing to serve on the Economic Vitality Board because issues of economic development, equity, and representation are central to living happily with
my neighbors in Bozeman. I have graduate level education in Land Use Planning, Indigenous Economic Development, and Resource Geography. I am a social scientist heavily
engaged in the local community, and believe I can bring valuable perspective and lived experience.
* 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 specifically research health issues that affect Indigenous and Minority communities, and have 15 years of documented engagement in sustainable development and
support for marginalized demographic groups. I have instructed a course on decolonizing methodologies in health research, and I use Critical Race Theory and Tribal Crit as
research frameworks to improve health equity. I have lived experience being homeless in Bozeman, and understand discriminatory policies that lead to houselessness.
