Through those <br />experiences, I have developed an in-depth understanding of city budgets, tax increment <br />financing and other complex topics for which I am able to concisety explain to the <br />average citizen. I also work with officials in those communities to promote events and <br />highlight their other positive happenings. <br />Via my professional or educational experience - I have a bachelor1s degree in <br />communications - I have experience in most all communication medium, including <br />writing, public speaking, graphic design, copy editing and video production. <br />I am a native of the North Metro (I grew up in Vadnais Heights and Shoreview and <br />since have lived in White Bear lake and Little Canada).
