I bring over 15 years of work related to wildlife and public lands including experience working to ensure equal access to natural resources, public policy and management of
natural resources, community engagement to build support for lands and wildlife, and advancing community driven conservation. Parks play an important role in the
sustainability of our city. Beyond water conservation and mitigating the impacts of a changing climate, these resources can also be tools for engaging the community.

trainings, discussion groups, and conferences to continue my own learning journey.

Friend
Is there any other information that you feel we need to know?
I feel incredibly fortunate to live and raise young children in a community that prioritizes ensuring access to outdoor spaces. From neighborhood parks where my two young
daughters can play with friends and swing across a creek to the green spaces and trails that allow us to connect across the city, Bozeman parks and outdoor spaces are at
the heart of our community. The Urban Parks and Forestry Board’s goals plays an important role in ensuring these spaces help define our community.
