To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to express my interest in serving on the City of Laurel Parks and Tree Board.As a Laurel resident
for the past 15 years, I am looking to contribute more actively to the community that my family and I call reside
in.My significant other has been a Laurel resident for most of her life,and we are both looking for opportunities
to give back to our community.
1 hold a master's degree in Geographical Information Systems(GIS)and a bachelor's degree in Environmental
Science,both of which I believe would bring value to the work of the Parks and Tree Board.Professionally,I
serve as a Regional Area Manager with the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation,within
the Forestry and Trust Lands Management Division. In this role,I oversee nine statewide programs,including
Real Estate Management,Forestry,Agriculture and Grazing, and Fire PrQtection.
My experience has given me a strong background in project management,regulatory compliance,and interagency
coordination. I regularly manage complex projects across multiple disciplines and ensure compliance with
federal,state,and local laws.These responsibilities have deepened my understanding of resource
management—knowledge I would like to apply to assisting Laurel's community.
I have the experience and knowledge to implement sustainable practices and use technology-driven solutions to
improve and enhance assets and resource management. I approach every challenge with curiosity and
commitment,and I would like the chance to apply those strengths in support of the city's parks and tree boards
Thank you for your time and consideration. If you have questions or would like to discuss my participation on
this board,or potentially other boards within the City of Laurel,please feel free to reach out to my at the contact
information provided above.I look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
