Luke Heikkila <br />The parks and recreational opportunities available in Roseville are spectacular. I <br />wanted to serve on this commission so I could be both better suited to <br />understand how the system operates and learn how I can help further the work <br />being done by our dedicated Parks and Recreation staff. I enjoy being part of a <br />group and the commission provides me an opportunity to feel like I am a part of <br />something that is bigger than me. I would like citizens to know that when they <br />have questions about anything park and recreation related they can seek me out <br />and I will bring their questions and concerns forward. <br />Greg Hoag <br />1. What led you to want to serve on the Parks and RecreationCommission? <br /> <br />Having lived in the City of Roseville all of my life, I felt it was time for me to <br />volunteer my time back to the City that provided opportunities for me as a <br />young adult to guide me into the professional career of Parks and <br />Recreation. <br />2. What experiences from your life, your work, or your volunteer roles are most <br />relevant to the work of thisCommission? <br />I have worked in the Parks and Recreation and Public Works fields for my <br />20+ year professional career. Working primarily with Parks & facilities, <br />Golf Courses and building operations. <br />3. What do you want Roseville citizens and fellow Parks and Recreation <br />Commissioners to know about you? <br />I am passionate about parks and open space. I enjoy spending time <br />outdoors and using the parks and facilities that Roseville has to offer. <br />Michelle Lenhart <br />I wanted to serve on the Roseville Parks and Recreation Commission because I <br />love the outdoors and want to improve access to our city’s natural areas, parks, <br />and recreation services. I am a mom of two children and a volunteer soccer <br />coach. I work for the Minnesota Department of Human Services, where I am a <br />policy analyst for programs aimed at improving children’s outcomes through <br />quality of child care and early education. I am also an advocate for outdoor <br />learning, and offering opportunities for people of all ages to connect with nature. <br />As our access to natural areas dwindles and our planet warms, we need to <br />champion and protect the natural places in our own backyards. Roseville has <br />incredible access to natural areas and services that help people make those <br />connections. It is a privilege to regularly learn about and offer support through <br />my participation on this Commission. <br />16 <br /> <br />
