Please describe why you are interested in serving on an Advisory Body.
The City Council has asked for volunteers for its advisory bodies; I want to answer that call. As a resident, I see a need for citizen involvement in helping the city in its quest to improve our quality of life.
Please describe your past experience serving on an Advisory Body or similar entity.
No municipal experience, but lots of private sector management experience.
Please describe any additional background, experience, skills, or qualifications relevant to serving on your Advisory Body(ies) of interest. If applying for the CVB Board or Parking Advisory Committee, please provide specific information about your knowledge relating to that purview.
After moving here in 2018 I realized that there were some areas regarding quality of life that could be improved upon, especially after talking to my neighbors. In 2020 I went door to door from May through November, talking to hundreds of residents.
During that time, I found that certain common themes ran strongly through the residents of the neighborhoods I visited. Talking to those residents made a strong impression on me and I realized that we all had common goals. Being a member of the Traffic Safety Committee would provide representation to the residents I met and talked with.
