How long have you lived in the Bozeman Area?: 1-5 yr Which position are you applying for?: Zoning Commission City Limits: yes Have you ever served on a City or County Board or Commission?: yes If so, how long?: Several years If so, where ?: Bozeman, MT; Wrightsville, PA Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences.: A Montanan by choice, I moved to Bozeman because of the unique cultural and social values that bind together our community. I wish to see our city grow and flourish thoughtfully, in line with the good planning work previously done in fashioning a Comprehensive Plan and neighborhood-specific growth plans. Beyond a passion for service and our community, my educational and experiential background are strong qualifications for service on the City Planning Board. I possess a juris doctor and masters degrees, with coursework in advanced land use planning, including public works and infrastructure, related items essential to a holistic understanding of city planning. Similarly, I've applied these and related skill sets professionally as staff at organizations focused on protecting and improving community health and resiliency, as well as on other municipal boards. More specifically, I've served on citizen boards for the City of Bozeman previously (WRB) where I have very much appreciated meeting and engaging other service-oriented members of our community and stakeholders in the public. Insofar as I served but the brief 4 month remainder during 2013 of a Planning Board vacancy, and in that short time enjoyed working on the projects before the Planning Board and fellow Board members' congeniality, I respectfully request the Commission allow me the opportunity to serve a new full-term and, in so doing, give back to the community which I hold dear.
