I’m a big supporter of public transportation. I’m excited
for the growth and expansion of the current system by adding a major artery that moves through key neighborhoods in the west. I believe my experience
working on a production team at CTC - that combines creativity, practicality, and problem solving - a valuable asset in project like this.
An attractive yet practically functioning rail line - including station layout, functionality, aesthetic value - will be key in helping to make the Blue line extension
a successful endeavor for the region. I think it’s incredibly important that the community feels not only supportive but an at ease feeling that their community’s
best interests are being looked at and considered. This committee serves an important role in that and I’d like to gain that civic experience.
I’ve served through several outreach initiatives through my church (Valley Community Presbyterian Church)
that have positively impacted the Crystal, Robbinsdale, and Golden Valley communities. I’ve been on the Faith Partners Board of PRISM (Golden Valley) for the last
three years. I’ve volunteered for various organizations such as Families Moving Forward as well as serving groups and communities through my work at CTC.
