I manage the maintenance of the urban landscape within the Big Sky Town Center; this work includes the parks, the selection of trees for planting, and the general public works of the residential and commercial district. The work that I do helps to provide a maintenance and working perspective of the tasks approached by the UPF board.

Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of DEI. Much of my most recent learning has been in my participation on the UPF board through public comment as well as the previous iteration of the PRAT plan. This has taught me valuable lessons in the importance of park usability (particularly with multi-generational parks) and park accessibility to various neighborhoods with differing populations.
