in board meetings in my professional career.
Briefly explain why you would like to serve on the board / commission
While a new formal resident of Chandler, I have participated and worked within the community for
quite some time. My professional experience has provided community support through improving
the City's infrastructure via support in City of Chandler Capital Improvement Projects and through
supporting private development occurring throughout the community. This experience has given
me the opportunity study and obtain a great understanding of the city's ordinance, zoning codes,
and regulations. As a resident of the community, I hope to take my professional background and
knowledge to support the community further in joining the Planning and Zoning commission. I
hope my professional experience can lead to a positive impact within our community.
