I have increased my involvement with the city of Roseville through volunteering but would love to <br />expand my engagement with the city's work related specifically to environmental sustainability and <br />infrastructure that supports community members in an equitable way. <br /> <br />Please describe any activities, specific skills or experiences you have that you feel would be beneficial to <br />serving on the advisory commission(s) for which you are applying. <br />I have a Bachelor's of Science from UW-Eau Claire, with a Biology major (focusing on plant biology). I <br />have a Master's in Nursing (with a RN license and Public Health Certification) and currently work in <br />Reproductive Healthcare in a role where I provide clinical training and development opportunities to <br />new and existing employees. I am passionate about social justice, reproductive justice, and applying an <br />equity lens to the work that I do on a day to day basis. I have enjoyed working with the city of Roseville <br />to do volunteer buckthorn and garlic mustard removal and plant trees. I routinely spend personal time <br />collecting trash in local parks, residential areas, and wetlands. <br /> <br />As a commissioner on your preferred commission(s), how could you contribute to the City's equity and <br />inclusion initiatives? <br />I am constantly working to develop my own knowledge about DEI related topics by listening to podcasts, <br />reading articles and books, attending webinars/continuing education seminars, and engaging in <br />discussions both in professional and personal settings. I am on the DEI committee at my full-time job <br />with current projects including developing an equity style guide, drafting/reviewing Standard Operating <br />Procedures, and advocating for application of an equity lens in the work my organization does. I am a <br />mother of two young children which has helped me gain perspective on how my privilege impacts the <br />experience of parenting and how we might better support other parents who don't have those same <br />privileges, are from marginalized communities, or who lack representation. I by no means expect to <br />represent all marginalized folks but what I will commit to is amplifying voices of those who have lived on <br />the margins, creating space for people to be included in conversations that affect their lives (and the <br />lives of their family), and advocating for the rights of those in my community. <br /> <br />Preferred method to be contacted <br />Email <br /> <br />
