* Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
I believe my professional experience combined with my education and passion make me a great candidate for this board seat. I spent 20 years in fashion design working for
various companies. About 3 years ago I decided to take a new career path after moving home to Bozeman (I grew up here); I enrolled at Gallatin College and earned an AA
in Interior Design. I believe I can bring a thoughtful and pragmatic approach to this position and I would love to be a part of this committee. Thank you!
* The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of
DEI.
During my time designing apparel for Eddie Bauer, we were required to take diversity & Bias training courses. I found these incredibly rewarding- not only to expand my
understanding of my own unconscious biases, but also found relief in how other coworkers modified their statements or behavior based on the training. Treating others with
respect and professionalism is imperative for a successful organization.

Is there any other information that you feel we need to know?
One of my favorite courses in the Interior Design program was 'Enviromental' which was on sustainability in the building industry. It was fascinating to learn how
communities in the US are approaching sustainability challenges, read case studies, and learn about LEED and Well design. It opened my eyes to the responsibility the
building industry holds to society to care for the environment, and how we need to preserve/update our old historic places to be efficient for today.
