Since buying a home in Louisville with my husband three years ago, I have developed a deep connection with my city and neighborhood community. I am committed to Louisville's vitality and am eager to be a part of its future. My interest in serving on the Louisville Revitalization Commission (LRC) stems from my passion for contributing to my community's vitality and sustainability, and my educational and professional experience in Colorado's public and nonprofit sectors. Since moving to Boulder County eight years ago, I have observed the City of Louisville develop its residential and commercial areas and stimulate local growth. As a resident, business owner, and young professional committed to raising a family in this community, I am eager to bring my enthusiasm and expertise in economic development, local government, social entrepreneurship, and community building in Boulder County, to offer recommendations for revitalization efforts. If appointed to the LRC, I look forward to integrating the skills I have gained through my Master's in Public Administration and professional experience working for and partnering with local governments including the City of Boulder, City of Fort Collins, and City of Denver, and public universities including the University of Colorado Boulder and Colorado State University. My interest in serving on the LRC intersects with my personal and professional drive to spur innovation and collaboration among diverse groups. My volunteer experience serving as Vice -Chair of Boulder's University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission, launching a sister city program, coordinating community education, and collaborating with Boulder Startup Week equips me to serve the Louisville community on the Revitalization Commission. I hope for the opportunity to contribute my perspective and experience in the continued development of the Highway 42 Revitalization Area, the proposed 550 S. McCaslin Urban Renewal Plan, redevelopment of the McCaslin corridor, and other initiatives important to the community. It would be my honor to serve the City of Louisville in this capacity and to assist in the stimulation of growth, while maintaining a sustainable community. 16
