I am a very good listener, problem solver, and critical thinker; all skills that I believe serve me well on this commission. My volunteer work around Roseville and St. Paul has given me a broad sense of some of the environmental projects going on in the area. As a resident who frequently drives, bikes, and walks throughout our community (and occasionally utilizes public transportation) I also have a general awareness of the state of transportation issues within Roseville, though I recognize that I certainly would have a lot to learn from others. Furthermore, as a member of the Roseville school district’s Curriculum Advisory Committee, I have experience listening to and considering multiple perspectives and working to find solutions that are best for the whole community. As a member of the PWET commission, I will continue to draw on my personal experiences, as well as others' ideas and concerns to help advise the council on the best courses of action given the needs and constraints of the city. As a commissioner, how I do not represent a minority or underprivileged group. do you contribute to the However, I recognize the tremendous need to make our city's equity and inclusion community and our world a more equitable and inclusive place. initiatives? I try to support this in my work with the Curriculum Advisory Committee by embracing the district's Equity Vision, which states that “Roseville Area Schools is committed to ensuring an equitable and respectful learning environment for every student, family, and staff member.” In my role on the Curriculum Advisory Committee, I work with people of diverse backgrounds and perspectives to try to understand where there are needs or inequities in our schools that we can address within the school curricula. I try to remember these various perspectives and use them to shape my thinking in other aspects of my life, including my work with the PWET commission. I try to recognize underlying inequities in our community. It is critically important that everyone has easy access to parks, well-maintained roads, and affordable transportation. Where any such inequities exist I will work hard to think about ways we can correct that. Qbhf!217!pg!413
