Protection Managerwith Conservation Ftorida, where I supported conservation easements,
tand acquisitions, and complex reat estate transactions. This work required coordination
with [andowners, agencies, attorneys, and consuttants, as wetl as evaluating properties for
their environmentat, agricutturat, and conservation vatue. My experience atso inctudes
time in the private sector with Weyerhaeuser and Enviva, where I worked on forestry

my perspective in the day-to-day reatities of this community and the tong-term future we
are shaping. As a muttigenerationat Cottier County resident, my roots trace back to before
much of the county's devetopment. I carry both an understanding of what this tandscape
once was and a strong sense of responsibitity for how it continues to grow and evolve. I
