I have facilitated <br />many public forums and discussions on contentious issues and enjoyed the challenge of creating <br />a welcoming environment that allowed individuals to feel heard. <br />I am particularly eager to work with the City's Comprehensive Plan and assist in shaping the <br />future of Mounds View. Over my past 8 years as a resident I have found our city to be a <br />welcoming, responsive, and safe community. I look forward to building upon this strong <br />foundation as we look and plan for the future. <br />
