My teaching experience, community involvement, and even my retail customer service experiences have exposed me to a broader cross-section of real Missoula – a more diverse spectrum of the people who live here.

I am invested, both financially and emotionally, in Ward 2. I would be honored to guide our future to a place where all residents can succeed in this extremely class-diverse ward.

Do you have any special knowledge, interest or related experience or training that the City Council should be aware of as they consider your application for this position? (750 character limit)*
