Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a passionate environmentalist and public servant with a decade of experience in conservation and natural resource management. I have extensive expertise crafting and advocating for conservation policies that lead to healthier ecosystems, stronger communities, and greater resilience to our changing climate. I'm running because I believe real change is made at the local level, and that our parks, community and backyard gardens, local forests and farms, offer us the key to both mitigating and adapting to climate change.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Increase access to existing programs and services. I want to make sure that all communities are aware of the services that the conservation district provides, including those in more urban environments that may not typically "see" themselves in the conservation district (like people living in apartments!) and BIPOC and marginalized communities who may have encountered barriers to access and participation. I'd also like to increase outreach to these and other communities to listen and ensure that the programs and services that do exist are relevant to their needs.
• Create and incentivize pathways to landownership for marginali or historically and systemically oppressed communities or individuals. Currently, the vast majority of (forest and farm) landowners are white, male, and typically older. This concentration of power comes as a result of the history of white supremacy in our country and state, and it's time to address it. More diversity in landownership will help to ensure that more diverse management goals and values are represented across the landscape, which can lead to healthier ecosystems. Cost is a significant barrier, particularly in King County, but there are other barriers around the process of becoming a landowner that I believe the conservation district could play a role in addressing
• Increased Tribal engagement and partnerships, including around access to first foods and food sovereignty. There are so many different ways that the conservation district can engage with, learn from, and support Tribes in our region, and I'd like to make sure those are fully explored and resourced. First foods and food sovereignty are natural fits within the conservation districts existing focus areas, but there are many more!

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about environmental justice, and policies that increase community resilience, whether that means universal healthcare, gun reform, abortion access, or smart climate policy.
