* Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
I'm currently a general practice attorney, but have a general focus/desire to work on sustainable development. I enjoy the creative-problem-solving process and the
cooperative atmosphere of which it requires. I have no technical experience in city or transportation planning, but believe in the underlying core values: accessibility and
efficacy. I have a general preference for densely concentrated transportation systems to mitigate urban sprawl and protect rural living.
* The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of
DEI.
I've provided over 150 hours of pro bono service to low-income households. I've participated in several LGBTQ clinics to help its members obtain legal name and gender
changes. While I have not expanded my understanding of DEI beyond the baseline understanding, I am well aware of the importance of intersectionality and the beauty of
varying perspectives.

Is there any other information that you feel we need to know?
I am enthusiastic about Bozeman and its community. The opportunity to help shape, yet protect, the essence of the city--even in the microcosm of transportation--carries a
certain responsibility and forethought I believe I posses as an effective tool for this position.
