I’ve called Bozeman home for 20 years and deeply value our parks and trails. For over a decade at Oboz Footwear, I have volunteered with local groups and helped support
tree planting and community events that protect our green spaces. I care deeply about how our city grows and want to contribute to ensuring future parks and trails remain
vibrant, accessible and well cared for.
* The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of

During my career at Oboz Footwear, I have been fortunate to have participated in a number of different DEI trainings specifically related to the outdoors and outdoor
industry. I am also a graduate of the Futurist Project Leadership Academy which dedicates a portion of the curriculum to DEI in the outdoors. This education has helped me
better recognize inequity in business and the outdoors and ways to encourage a more diverse and inclusive environment.
