I believe my background, active civic engagement, and connection with the University of Washington Tacoma make me an excellent candidate for this position. A well-functioning, professional City Council is crucial to the well-being of Tacoma, and I believe my qualifications as a public economist and engaged community member will contribute to such a council. I have spent my professional career at the University of Washington Tacoma, where my teaching and research focuses on evaluating public policies. I care deeply about Tacoma and the Council’s role in managing public resources for the betterment of our city. Such management requires thinking carefully about the problems our city confronts, identifying their root causes, and analyzing how the detail of any specific policy can best address them. This is true whether the question at hand is how best to develop the land around Tacoma’s Port, how to create more vibrant neighborhoods, how to promote housing density and affordable housing options, or how to prioritize which of our numerous pot-holed streets to fix. These are my professional skills, and I would be honored to have the opportunity to employ them on Tacoma’s City Council. I moved to Tacoma in 2000 after accepting a job with UWT. It is here my professional career took off, and where our two sons attended public school -- the older one graduated from Foss in 2013, and the younger one from Wilson in 2015. Throughout those years, I was an active parent, volunteering in the schools and calling out words of encouragement from the cold, wet sidelines. My children now grown and my career well-established, I have in recent years turned my interests to my immediate community. In 2006, I was asked by the Governor’s Office to join a state-wide panel to assess the impact of climate change on our state. After our final report circulated, a number of the editorial boards of our state’s newspapers wrote about our dire conclusions. In fact I myself wrote an Op-ed to publicize our findings, an experience which eventually led me to write other Op-eds responding to different issues in our community, from taxes to education policy. With time my opinion pieces caught the attention of the News Tribune’s editorial staff, and they soon contracted with me to write bi-weekly opinion pieces on local, state, and national policy issues, which I did from 2010 to 2013. I enjoyed this chance to engage with local issues and with the many readers who responded to my columns. I’ve been an active contributor to our community in other ways as well. In 2006 I joined a panel of citizens selected by City Manager Anderson to evaluate the city’s tax structure. I was intrigued by his idea of tying taxes to specific city services, and after months of deliberation found that I agreed with him. On this I wound up in the minority, however, and ultimately the panel decided not to endorse his recommended changes to Tacoma’s tax structure. During the summer of 2015, the City of Tacoma hired me to advise a panel of citizens making recommendations regarding a potential increase in Tacoma’s minimum wage. In this role, I prepared a number of reports for the panel, tracked down relevant data, and attended each of the panel’s weekly meetings. Finally, in 2015 I ran for and was elected to the 2016 Pierce County Charter Review Commission. I believe I worked well with my fellow Commissioners, and developed a good rapport with the group. However, I also think independently: I was the lone commissioner to vote no on proposed Charter Amendments 41 and 42, both of which were ultimately rejected by the voters last November. My position at the University of Washington Tacoma has provided me the greatest opportunity to influence our local community. UWT’s students come mostly from the South Sound, and I have always been on the lookout for ways to improve our curriculum so that our students are more successful once leaving us. In the classroom, I also regularly draw on examples from our own community for illustrations of theoretical points. This is another reason I am attracted to this position: I believe local examples are more compelling for students, and more effective in ensuring that students graduate as informed and engaged citizens. I like to bring local officials to class to discuss policy, such as ones to encourage energy efficiency, or others to attract development to Tacoma. During a course last year, I spent one week evaluating the proposed Methanol plant, and this year I am working with a faculty member and the Pierce County Auditor on a class where students examine voting patterns in Pierce County. At UWT I have developed two new majors, am working on a third (Economics and Policy Analysis), and am in the process of proposing a new masters program for students interested in developing expertise in evaluating local policy issues. I believe there is great potential for UWT to develop a diverse and creative set of new leaders for Tacoma and Pierce County, and to build creative partnerships with our community governments. Aside from finding special joy in thinking carefully and creatively about ways to improve our community, I’d like to close by saying how much I enjoy working collaboratively with others. This is an important reason why this position attracts me. Collaboration is not typically what faculty members do, nor what universities reward faculty members for achieving. Yet since arriving at UWT, I have sought out leadership roles on campus, and once in them I’ve worked with those across campus on a range of initiatives. I value transparency in decision making, and while at the University have come to recognize the importance of communicating widely, seeking input broadly, and engaging in the give and take required of democratic processes. In 2011 I was elected to a two year term as head of UWT’s faculty, and believe my tenure was marked by an especially robust array of initiatives, many of which I saw to completion. For six years I was elected to represent faculty on the campus’ budget committee; here I learned about the complexity of budget rules and how these shape and constrain policies. At UWT I have been instrumental in creating a new division (Politics Philosophy and Public Affairs) that is marked by its collaborative spirit. I am currently the chair of this division, and in that capacity work with faculty to develop innovative opportunities for our students, including internship in community governments and collaborative projects with local officials. My faculty and I are especially active in putting on public seminars for our students and for the community. This past fall I worked with the League of Women Voters Tacoma-Pierce County to put on a seven-part series related to local election issues and races. Holding this position on Tacoma’s City Council for a year –or possibly longer—would provide me an exciting opportunity to combine my professional skills with my dedication to making Tacoma the best it can be. Thank you again for the opportunity to apply for it.

As an African-American, I am especially proud of the fact that the City of Tacoma is strong in its diversity and tolerance of differences In the past eight years, I've attended over 4,000 community events with thousands of Tacoma residents from every walk of life, I've talked with those folks about what makes Tacoma special and why they have chosen to live here. I also have been a sounding board for their concerns. Because of these experiences, I started a Facebook hashtag campaign, 'Tacoma questions," where I've engaged the citizens of Tacoma in discussions about city issues Tacoma's best days lie ahead. As a trusted and well-known individual, knowledgeable about Tacoma's issues and in touch with the needs, wants and concerns of Tacoma's residents, this Council and Tacoma's citizens would benefit from my knowledge, expertise and understanding.

I am quite excited to submit my application for this position; I have lived in Tacoma my entire life except for my undergraduate and graduate studies and have long aspired to be a part of planning Tacoma's future. I most recently returned to Tacoma in early 2014 after spending four years in Seattle studying for my law degree and master's degree in international business, and have been actively growing my law practice since that time. I am deeply passionate about being a part of the positive growth that Tacoma has made over the last few decades and believe that our city is uniquely positioned to become increasingly important on an international stage. I am also deeply committed to ensuring that as our city grows and develops, it does so in a manner that is inclusive and maintains the city's character and diversity. I am heartened by this Council's actions to improve and revitalize our downtown core. I believe that the decision to purchase the Park Place South parking garage offers an incredible opportunity to begin to repair a void in the continuity of downtown businesses lining Pacific Avenue. It also highlights what I believe to be integral to revitalizing downtown: developing a strategy to return spaces that were converted into parking garages in the middle of the century back to their original use as store fronts and small businesses. If appointed to the council, I would advocate for finding a location that might allow Tacoma to reestablish the city's historic permanent farmer's market (formerly known as the Crystal Palace at the corner of 11th and Market Street) to further serve as an anchor for growth. Outside of the downtown area, it would be my goal to collaborate on ways to continue the process of improving walkability and transportation systems throughout the city to provide greater integration between the city's neighborhoods. Finally, Tacoma's long term growth and success depends upon being able to support local businesses and allow new businesses to flourish. Tacoma has a long history of growing incredibly successful businesses from Weyerhaeuser to Russell Investments and we should devote resources to support our nascent start up scene and capitalize on the entrepreneurial spirit of our citizens. We must develop systems that encourage our recent college graduates to found new enterprises here instead of heeding the allure of companies in Seattle and Bellevue. I am committed to helping to find these solutions. Thank you for your consideration. I very much appreciate the opportunity to submit my application for Tacoma City Council Member.

I love our city and want to do my part to help leave it better than I found it. Please strongly consider appointing me to complete the Tacoma City Council At-Large Position Number 6 term. I have the experience to hit the ground running and help with important issues facing the council, like selecting our next city manager and continuing the equitable implementation of major city projects like our street renovations and fulfilling the vision put forth in Tacoma 2025. I work well with others and believe some of the best public policies come forward with input from all sides. I am well suited for this position because of my passion for public service and experience both working on behalf of citizens through my day job in the legislature and working in our community on political campaigns. I try to keep busy outside of work by giving back to my community and have been appointed to serve on both municipal and statewide commissions. I also often volunteer my time in smaller commitments through local organizations like the Humane Society and United Way as well as attending local neighborhood meetings and clean ups hosted by groups like Safe Streets and neighborhood councils. I look forward to hearing from you about a possible interview.

Mr. George Ed man Tacoma, WA 98403 (- gWEdiifilil akomcastnet January 4, 2017 Dear Selection Committee, Thank you for this opportunity to apply for the City Council At Large Position In advance, I thank you for reading this letter, the enclosures, and for taking the time to consider me for this position in late 1979 i decided two things; where i wanted to live and what I wanted to do. With its proximity to an inspiring number of recreational opportunities i decided to make Tacoma my home. With my location determined, i began focusing on a career with real estate at its center. The timing could not have been better. In 1980 the City of Tacoma was home to Puget Sound National Bank, Pacific First Federal, Nalley's Fine Foods, a metal plating companyjust below the "twin 96'ers" at the head of the Thea Foss Waterway, approximately twenty sawmills, the Old City Hall and two restaurants on Ruston Way. However, economic conditions were collapsing, inflation was alarmingly above 10% and, with a directed urgency, the US. Federal Reserve responded with strong measures. Within a few months home mortgage rates shot above 15% and the prime lending rate went above 20% By 1982 more than one out of every ten workers were unemployed and the weakening economy continued a daunting trend. Fascinating times for any young person beginning a career in an industry requiring both cash flow and capital! The lessons I learned during the lean economic times of the early 19805 were many and remain with me to this day. None of the businesses mentioned above exist in Tacoma today (and we are down to two sawmills) . All were reputable businesses in their time. AH had long histories of contributing to the success of current day Tacoma. To look at Tacoma today, in comparison, is to look at a colorful, chameleon of a town . These days a myriad of museums dot the landscape, artistic bri,dges span the Thea Foss and Puyallup Ri1ver, buildings which were nearly abandoned are now full of activity. Commencement Bay draws eagles, seals, and sea lions all chasing salmon. These are much improved times for the citizens of the City of Tacoma. It has been a long road with many contributors. Is the success fragile? The debate is ongoi1ng. Active encouragement of i1nvestment by private and non-governmental enterprises partnered with the judicious administration of human, financial, and social resources by the City's government may allow for continued success. It is a delicate equation. With well over thirty years of experience as a small business person and local citizen I feel qualified to serve as a City Council member. This year the City of Tacoma will hire a new City Manager. It will most likely examine its form of government. The City will continue to be asked to increase its contribution towards improving the local storm water and air quality. Satisfactory distribution of resources available to improve the quality of life for the citizens of Tacoma will, as in all other times, be publically challenged. Through my training and experience, these are important activities which I am well suited to assist wi1th and it would be my pleasure to do so. Again, I thank you for your time and your consideration. Your questions are welcome and encouraged .

I am very new to the field of elected office. My adult life has been spent in the Army, and therefore was restricted from taking an active pa pation in our political process. I was lmpartially protecting the process and therefore required to stay at an arm's length from it. But I have been serving my country since I was 13 years old. Now that I have retired from the Army, wish to find a new way to serve. To be selected to serve my community on the City Council would enable me to do just that while trying to improve the living environment of a great American city. At its core, leadership in the Army is taking care of people. Sewing on the City Council requires exactly the same skills and mindseta Tacoma is a city where thousands of Veterans have made their home. Joint Base Lewis/McChord is one of the largest military bases in the country and has an enormous financial impact on our city and region. Having a retired Veteran on the Council, who previously served at Joint Ease Lewis/McChord, could provide a valuable perspective. My hometown was Grand Blanc, Michigan, a cityjust south of Flint. enlisted in the Army Reserves when was 18 and after graduating from college, went onto Active Duty as a Medlcal Service Corps officer. My 27 year career included several assignments in Germany as well as a deployment as a United Nations Peacekeeper in the Balkans and two deployments to Iraq My wife, Mandy, is a natlve of Tacoma and University Place and, following my final assignment at the Madigan Army Medical Center, we decided to make Tacoma our permanent home. Our 3 year old twins, Benny and Ella, will get to grow up in beautiful Old Town and will one day graduate from Stadium High School, the same school their great-grandmother graduated from In 1938. have been welcomed into my neighborhood, American Legion Post 2, the Puget Sound Civil War Round table, the 2ih Legislative District Democrats, and now the Tacoma Historical Society. I know how blessed I am and I hope to be able to give back to this community. The highlight of my military career was commanding the Warrior Transition Battalion-Europe. Our mission was to help wounded, ill, and injured Soldiers heal, rehabilitate, and transition back to a line unit or into the civilian community. The efforts we performed on behalf of Soldiers and their families are a great source of pride for me, we made a difference in people's lives. I look forward to finding passion again in my work and a dedicated team to become a part of during my post-military career. I believe I will find these on the Tacoma City Council.

I have been a resident of Tacoma since 1997 when I moved here to attend the University of Puget Sound; I've lived in the Hilltop community since lanuary 2002. My first and onlyjob since college was that of being the initial Executive Director of Peace Community Center for 15 years. I moved on from that position this past June 2015 and now do some consulting work as discern next steps in my vocation. I have two daughters who are both in Tacoma Public Schools and my wife is a Tacoma Public School teacher. My work as the Executive Director of Peace Community Center has given me important experience that I believe would be a great asset to the City Council. I have developed budgets, led strategic planning, and developed partnerships with Tacoma Public schools, Tacoma Housing Authority, local faith communities, local universities, and other community-based organizations and businesses. Additionally, in my 15 years at Peace Community Center I led countless hiring processes, from intentional advertising to gain the candidate pool we desired to the interview process to the transition and on-boarding of new staff. Another important aspect of my responsibilities at the Center was working with the Board of Directors which has given me a deep understanding ofthe difference between management and governance, and the important role that members ofa board play both as individual members and asa collective whole. I also bring experience being a board memberfor a non>>profit that serves a large and complex network of organizations. For six years, I was honored to serve on the board of Lutheran Services in America (LSA) which represents over 300 Lutheran affiliated health and human services organizations that reach 5 million people annually, touching the lives of 1 in 50 Americans. Collectively LSA member organizations have aggregate annual revenues of over $20 billion. During my time as a board member we went through an executive transition and I was part of helping to make a successful selection and transition to a new CEO. In all my work – as a citizen, non-profit director, and board member – I'm an individual who is committed to equity. That commitment is lived out through constant listening, learning and growing within our diverse community. I've been fortunate to have training via Undoing Institutional Racism, Eric Law’s Kaleidoscope Institute, and through the Intercultural Development Inventory. I'm excited about and supportive of the City’s new Equity Office and would bring that lens to the City Council if selected to serve. I should also share that as someone who is between jobs and doing minimal consulting work, I have significant time available to ramp up quickly and serve our City well as Council Member in this important time of executive transition within our City government. I believe we've made significant progress the last handful of years as a city and believe the City Council’s steady leadership and its selection of our most recent City Manager have been critical parts of that improvement. I would like to be part of continuing and adding to that steady powerful leadership of our City. I would be honored to serve our City as a council member and look forward to further conversations if selected as a finalist.

HAYES Po Box 8177 Tacoma. WA 9341973177 sqhayes@msn.com January 6, 2017 Tacoma City Clerk's Office 733 Market St. Room 11 Tacoma WA 98402-3766 To Whom It May Concern, i am submitting my resume for consideration of the appointment for Tacoma City Council Position As the face of the council transitions over the next 1-2 years, i understand that you will need someone who is ready to quickly fill the now open position with little interruption as there is important work that needs to continue. As an 18-year employee of Flegence BiueShieid, I've had the pleasure of leading a team of people across 4 states in simultaneously applying internal policies, government regulations and business contracts to determine the appropriate level of healthcare coverage. My role as a Supervisor of the Appeals (grievance) team has afforded me the ability to utilize my creative thinking and effective communication skills to work collaboratively at finding reasonable solutions to complex problems. I believe my experience in recruiting, hiring and providing annual performance reviews for my staff will be of great use to the council in its quest this year to find a new City Manager. Being no stranger to working within tight budgets and strict timelines, knowthat my understanding of the importance of each and my ability to work efficiently will assist the council in completing all that it has set out to accomplish in the forthcoming year. A resident of Tacoma for the past 10 years, I am committed to seeing that those who call Tacoma home will continue to see a council that works well together, works hard at being transparent, as well as, hearing and identifying the city's needs then appropriately addressing them, As a community organizer, I have spent many years working with people of all backgrounds helping to build relationships that foster growth and improvement where necessary, Most notably, would be the leading of youth activists and collaboration with multiple government entities in an effort to construct a new community center on Tacoma's eastside. What started as a dream is now a reality thanks in large part to my leadership. When a group of young activists (Tacoma Action Collective) looked to cause change within the Tacoma News Tribune (TNT) in relation to how it reports on the community in which it resides, it was with my assistance that the two groups were able to have a courageous, yet difficult conversation that led to a new set of goals for the TNT that would increase trust within the community and provide for an improved mission for the paper, or as their editor Karen Peterson wrote in her biog, "5 Ways We're Working to Better Cover the Breadth of Our Community," My mediation skills were also requested (and utilized) when this same group met with the Tacoma Art Museum under similar circumstances. My work on the community center project along with my position on the Unaccompanied Youth & Young Adult Blue Ribbon Panel, as well as on the Board of Directors for the Feminist Women’s Health Center demonstrates my desire to work toward housing the homeless, empowering youth while keeping them safe and fighting for women's rights, most of which are items on the city’s current agenda. I welcome the opportunity to tell you more about how my experience can be an asset to you.

My personal story, education, work experience and history of community service have uniquely prepared me for this role. I am a naturalized citizen who came to this country from Denmark with non-English speaking parents. Afier living through the German occupation of their country during WWII. my parents came here seeking a better life. Many of the challenges we faced as immigrants still exist for immigrants today: language baniers, housing, employment, accessing services, the simple act of grocery shopping and the task of assimilating without losing one's cultural identity. My bricklayer father taught me the art of perseverance, modelled a strong work ethic, and insisted that giving back to our new community was one of our paramount responsibilities as new citizens. We arrived in Tacoma 48 years ago. Our first home was in the South End. I attended Baker Junior High and graduated from Mount Tahoma High School. In the ensuing years, I lived in each of the five council districts at some point. I am familiar with the advantages of each district and also of the issues unique to each neighborhood. I have historical knowledge of these districts and have been witness to the evolution of each neighborhood. I have come full circle and now proudly call the South End my home once again. My career has taken me from employee in private business to public service. I have first-th knowledge of the operations of a small business and the powerful impact of local government of enhancing success for these entrepreneurs. As a teacher at Lincoln High School and as a high school administrator at Lincoln Iligh School, Wilson High School and Oakland Altemntive High School, I had the privilege of working with some ofthe finest individuals in our city 7 our youth. I also became painfully aware of the struggles of their families and neighborhoods. In both environments, I learned the valuable lessons of compassion, collaboration, accountability and integrity. I have continued to take my father's expectation of community service to heart. As an adult student at The Evergreen State College 7 Tacoma campus on the Hilltop, the concept reinforced by their mantra: "Enter to learn, depart to serve." I began volunteering shortly afier high school at Remann Hall setting up the first dental clinic for the residents. My volunteer service has been consistent and varied. Most recently I served two terms as Trustee for the Tacoma Public Library. In 2013, I was honored when Governor Inslee appointed me to the Bates Technical College Board of Trustees. The ability to give something back to my community has been personally remrding and I believe I have garnered as many benefits from these activities as I was able to provide. I am now ready and willing Io continue this Commitment to public Service as a member of the Tacoma City Council. I am eager to become part of a dynamic council tackling the challenge of providing equitable, comprehensive services to our constituents while planning for a productive future. The reality of doing so in a climate of declining revenues and increasing public skepticism is not lost on me. I see the energy, talent and passion of this eounon and mm In do my part to support your endeavors and keep the momentum of building a world class city moving forward My experiences have uniquely prepared me to be a productive member of the Tacoma City Councilo I am sincere in my quest to be of service to the city I have proudly called home for nearly five decades. I respectfully ask for your endorsement of my request. Thank you for your consideration and thank you for your fine service to the citizens of Tacoma.

Keating Applicant Council At-Large Position No. 6 Cover Letter Summary: I am a dedicated mother, wife, small business owner, and Tacoma native wanting to contribute to the community where I live and serve. Objective: I am applying to serve on the City Council because my personal values and history are layered with the values and history of Tacoma. Our family is a product and representation of what Tacoma strives to be. In particular, stewardship is a value that has guided my choices and actions, not only for my family and clients, but also for my community. As a champion for students and Tacoma’s youth, I have partnered with Tacoma Public Schools and other organizations which are dedicated to serving the city and its citizens. Owning a small business and working with the diversity of Tacoma residents has helped me to develop many rewarding relationships, and I am keen to use those experiences to contribute further to the community. In pursuing the City Council position, my intent is to continue representing families, students and the youth, and small business owners—and to build on the investment I've already made on behalf of our residents and the city of Tacoma.

I am interested in the current opening on the council. For the past three years I have pondered running for an elected position on one of our local governing bodies. I covered the city hall beat for Tacoma Weekly for 12 years, and thus feel I am familiar with the duties and responsibilities of a council member. I attended almost every meeting of the council when I was a journalist, about 20 meetings each month. I have attended more of these meetings than the vast majority of Tacoma residents, although I imagine there are some long-time staff people at Tacoma Municipal Building who have attended even more than I have. I currently work in a food service job that pays around minimum wage. If I was making $46,000 a year, I could certainly make serving on council my only job. I walk to work on Tacoma Avenue, and thus get an ongoing reminder of the social problems that exist in our city. Affordable housing and better employment options for the residents of our city are major concerns of mine . I would like to put some of my knowledge and creativity to use making Tacoma reach its full potential. Thank you for th.is opportunity to serve my city.

(would be honored ta serve on the City Council In the At Large Position No sincerely, Marlo Lorenz .fl/me/flf/ This page intentionally left blank January 61h, 2017 Dear Mayor Strickland and Council Members: My name is Maria Crestina Marez and I am applying for your city council position that you advertised for in the Tacoma Weekly. I have lived in Tacoma for many years and have sat on a variety of boards over the years. They have covered everything from establishing a learning organization that has helped to fight crime in our city to working with those who are disabled within our community and being an advocate for them. That learning organization was the Hilltop Action Coalition. It was a pleasure to work with the members of this board and to work with the different organizations that our city has to offer. Each of them has helped me to see where I needed to go next. My skills include working with not only those who are young but those who are homeless as well as the elderly. The boards I have sat on have taught me to develop not only leadership skills, but to be kind, compassionate, and caring towards all that live within our borders. I have also worked with various other groups in both the areas of education and our military. Everything I have done has taught me to "Listen" to what is going on and find the balance that is needed to solve the problem. I enjoy helping people find their niche through empowerment. I look forward to meeting with you in the near future and having a chance to talk with you.

Meredith Neal, page 2 THERESA POWER-DRUTIS, Ph.Dc acoma, WA 93405 rpdruris@gmail.com January 6, 2016 To whom it may concern: Please accept this letter, and the attached documents, in application for the Tacoma City Council At Large Position No. 6. Atclarge positions demand impartiality and a c'itvcwide perspective. With a track record of partnerships to address basic human needs throughout Tacoma and Pierce County, I've demonstrated those qualities. Cities thrive -- and public safety is best served -- when we care for our most vulnerable neighbors. ever the past 30 years l've collaborated with government agencies, and other stakeholders to establish human service and resource development projects. I have served as an active participant in local committees and initiatives including: . the Subarea Plan and Planned Action Environmental impact Statement process for the MLK neighborhood a the DSHS Criminal Justice/Forensic Patient workgroup, and . the Pierce County Community Charrette: Community Plan to End Homelessness. The multifaceted issues surrounding homelessness ignore political boundaries; therefore, any sustainable solution must bridge ideologies as well. I am proud that Tacoma passed the 1/10th of 1% tax and that Mayor Strickland convened a countywide coalition to address homelessness. it would be an honorto support the council's efforts to identify and enact comprehensive solutions. Residents look to city leadership to enact policies that improve our economy, infrastructure, education and community. More than 12 years in academia sharpened my ability to analyze and critically evaluate arguments and evidence in decisiancmaking. Community organizing deepened my understanding ofthe policy making process, the dangers ofthe "quick fix," and the importance of civil dialog and common ground. Creative problem solving, effective communication, and mediation are among the I developed in my work in the educational and sectors. Perhaps the most practical skills I bring comes from serving as the executive director of New Connections, a small that provides critical resources forwomen reentering the community after incarceration. To this work I also bring a responsible stewardship of resources and expertise in establishing budgets, contracts and policies The submitted resume further details my experience and abilities. lwelcome the opportunity to further discuss how my skills can best supportthe work of the city council and Tacoma residents.

As I grew, learned, and had various life experiences i was, quite frankly, still feeling lost in the process ofhow change occurs at different levels After graduating irorn l.inrield College, i worked as an AmeriCorps intern at Peace Community Center in the Hilltop neighborhood where i grew up. My intention was to give back to a city, a neighborhood, which helped me to stand proud in who i am. At Peace, not only was i able to support youth in the area, I was also given the opportunity to see the barriers and obstacles people were facing each day. With the help and support ofcowurkers. was able to grasp the true importance ofequity in education, housing, and employment. There, at Peace, i learned new ways oiproblem solviug and community building, and with that was able to be a positive presence in my community. My passion for working with youth quickly grew into a determination to remove as many oithe barriers they face in navigating the path to adulthood as i could Volunteering and donating time and resources to youth and community services, and noting the growing concerns around education, airordahle housing, making a living wage, healthcare and community sarety, was moved to begin doing the work to build a platform and carve out safe spaces for marginalized peoples to have a voice and enact change that feels true to who they are and their needs. As a iounding member or the Tacoma Action Collective, have been honored to amplify unheard voices and push for city-Wide accountability and progressive change in an organic, grassroots mariner. Along with my volunteer work with TAC, i currently work as a Children's advocate at the YWCA. in this role 1 have round working with people irom various backgrounds--elhnically, economically, and otherwise, in the short time i have with the families who seek our services, am consistently doing what it takes to put aside preconceived notions and beliefs to make sure each client is treated With respect, empathy, and individual consideration. While working to help maintain the overall effectiveness otour program and impact on the community, continually learn what it takes to be committed to working toward equitable, accessible, and socially iust spaces i am enclosing a copy ofmy resume for you to review, 1 welcome the opportunity to speak with you about this position so i can elaborate on how my experience as a Tacoma resident, a creative problem solver, and progressive thinkercan help to further strengthen the City ufTacoma.
