for revising their county-wide zoning regulations and growth policy assessment during my tenure. As the GIS Manager for Gallatin County, I created the county's first road

* The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of

I have actively engaged in expanding my understanding of DEI through various channels. This includes professional work in fair housing and equity, reading literature about
systemic inequality, and facilitating community discussions that foster inclusivity. I also regularly reflect on my own experiences and biases, seeking feedback to improve.
These efforts help me advocate for equity and create inclusive environments in both personal and professional settings.
