Holding a Bachelor's in Environmental Science from MSU, my academic journey has fortified my understanding of ecological systems and legal frameworks. Beyond the

community initiatives. My combination of academic rigor, practical know-how, and a deep commitment to environmental harmony positions me as an ideal candidate.
* The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of

Mentoring with Big Sky Youth Empowerment (BYEP), I dedicate time to empower marginalized youth in our community. Through this engagement, I've gained firsthand
insights into the challenges faced by diverse populations. Additionally, my experience as a substitute school teacher has allowed me to foster inclusivity within educational
settings. These efforts reflect my commitment to DEI values, aligning with the City of Bozeman's emphasis on creating an equitable and diverse community.
