Re: Application for the Senior Citizens'Advisory Board
Relevant Qualifications, interests, and experiences:
I am a 1992 graduate of Montana State University, with a Bachelor of Science degree in
Health& Human Development-Family Science. Beginning in the fall of 1992 to the
present time I have been employed in the field of aging services in Bozeman.
For 17 years I had my office at the Bozeman Senior Center. I recently moved my office,
because I needed more space, to a location at 251 Edelweiss,just north of Perkin's
Restaurant. I have been a board member of Galavan Senior& Disabled Transportation,
the Gallatin County Council on Aging, and Befriender's.
I am considered a key resource for senior services for Bozeman&the surrounding area.
I help seniors&their families find resources for their needs. As a SHIP (State Health
Insurance Program) counselor, it is my job to educate& assist seniors&others on
Medicare through the maze of health insurance options available to them. I am also a
certified local Ombusdmen for residents of local nursing homes & assisted living
facilities. Ombusdmen assist residents in resolving conflicts &other problems they may
have while living at a facility.
I work closely with many other agencies in Gallatin&Park counties and understand their
needs & challenges in working with our senior population. I have a good understanding
of the needs & challenges of Bozeman's senior population, and believe I would be an
excellent candidate for your board position.
