* Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
As a fourth generation born and raised in Gallatin Valley, I have spent the last 16 years working in the nonprofit sector. I chose a career, wanting purpose, but more
importantly wanting to ensure my children grew up in a community that was welcoming for all and contained the tools and resources needed for all individuals to thrive. I
currently serve as the ED at Family Promise, and I am driven each day by the hard-working families in our Valley that are working so hard to call this place home.
* The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of
DEI.
In my current role as Executive Director of Family Promise, DEIA work is vital to our work this fiscal year. Our board of directors has set a strategic goal to ensure all facets
of our operations utilize a DEIA lens. Our process began with staff attending the Everyday Allies Training offered by Bridger Care and we are currently reviewing proposals
from DEIA consultants to guide our continued work reviewing policies, procedures, and best practices working with families in crisis.
