* Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
In recent years have had the privilege of getting to know the Bozeman book community much better. In 2021 I began working at the Country Bookshelf while I pursued my
Master of Library and Information Science (completed in December of 2022). Since graduating I have had the privilege of working with dedicated librarians at the MSU
library. I think it is important to have a dedicated board who will weigh the needs of the community with the resources available.
* The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of
DEI.
As the population of Bozeman grows, so does our diversity and the need to be aware of changing community needs. I have engaged with that community on MSU campus
by partnering with the Diversity and Inclusion Student Commons to plan events, and it is my intention to continue to listen to the needs of those communities to help them
the best I can.
