Your current occupation: Communications Coordinator

How long have you lived in the Bozeman Area?: < 1 yr
Which position are you applying for?: Wetlands Review Board
City Limits: yes
Have you ever served on a City or County Board or Commission?: no
Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences.: I was a volunteer water
quality monitor for Iowa's Department of Natural Resources for two years. This included taking
samples of the water body to measure temperature, acidity, PH levels, sodium concentration, and
water clarity. I would also conduct a survey of the riparian habitat. Noting wildlife, vegetation
cover, and erosion. This data was then submitted for further interpretation by the state's
Department of Natural Resources. I am interested in serving this board for several reasons. The
first being to ensure our community is effectively managing water discharges and is making
efforts to reduce toxins that inevitably end up in other water ways. The second is helping to
incorporate wetland areas into the landscape in Bozeman, allowing us the opportunity for both
recreation and scenic beauty. Finally to become an active citizen by participating in a field I care
deeply about.

Other Info: What I may lack in background knowledge I make up in service. I have participated
in several wetland restoration programs (river clean-ups, invasive weed removal etc.). My most
recent position with the Montana Conservation Corps allowed me the opportunity to serve the
public directly through hands-on conservation work. It also instilled in me the value of service.
