* Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
Since my start in the legal field, I have become intimately aware of the civil processes and local regulations that govern our city. I've also had the privilege of reading
hundreds of pages of Montana government literature due to my job position. Personally, I feel deeply connected to Bozeman; I've lived here for 20 years now and have seen
much change in the area and would love to be a part of enacting that change. I can bring a fresh, considerate, and intelligent perspective to the board.
* The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of
DEI.
My efforts to expand my understanding of DEI have largely consisted of keeping an open mind. I travel, learn, and continue to experience cultures and experiences other
than the ones I was raised with/within. As a young graduate, my proximity to the vast diversity at the local university has contributed greatly to this. Additionally, the nature
of my job requires that I converse often with people in other areas, further broadening my diversity exposure.
