I have worked on municipal and planning matters as a summer associate at a law firm. Before that, I was an Army officer, part of which included training in evaluating the
characteristics of urban environments from a wholistic standpoint (PMESII-PT). I have a master's degree in Higher Education Administration, which included courses in
resource management and college campus/community analysis. I am interested in the economic challenges that a rapidly-expanding community faces.
* 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 studied the effects of discrimination through legal cases, including instances of intersectional discrimination, age discrimination, veterans status, and religious
inclusion. I have also worked at an HBCU as an ROTC instructor and have done my best to meaningfully engage with people from all socioeconomic strata.

Is there any other information that you feel we need to know?
I like to consider dynamic and difficult challenges that have to be worked out over time. I think the EVB is a great place to grapple with problems of growth that play out in
the long term. We have loved Bozeman since moving here, and I am excited to find some way to serve the community, even as it changes under our feet.
