I have been in different leadership roles and served my communities. I believe is time to keep serving <br />them and exercise my leadership roles to further helping them. Participation in local government is <br />important and not all folks have time to do so. I see my work and personal experience as training to <br />advocate and bridge people. <br />1 How has your employment and/or volunteer experience prepared you to do the work of a Human Rights <br />Commissioner?

Please <br />be specific. <br />Representation, ignorance, equal opportunity. <br />We often do not pay attention to simple root cause and this is why we do not see ignorance as a main <br />issue. To me the most pressing issue is Representation. When you do not see leaders that you as a <br />resident can relate to, you lose connection. Many communities do not have the representation that they <br />need in their local government, therefore feeling detached, unheard, insignificant. This is not only my <br />perspective but studies have shown these results. This is why representation is increasing in the media <br />and in marketing. Mainly to keep costumers and viewers, however, it works. <br />3 What do you see as the three most pressing human rights issues in Eugene? Select the most important and <br />explain why. <br />I am present in the moment, problem solving comes naturally and able to analyze during conversations, <br />meetings, arguments, or activities. I stay calm during storms and work on solutions. I feel that my <br />strengths make my weakness. I have found that people have perceived me as “cold” or detached from <br />conversation. In reality I am processing thoughts or solutions and tend to stay quiet. It seems that I <br />have to also improve aspects of my communication. In others to know what I am thinking and to get the <br />most ideas or solutions on the table I have to share mine. It is a work in process and I will keep working <br />on my communications with others. Clear communication equals clear goal. A clear goal is easier to <br />achieve. <br />4 Describe your specific strengths and weaknesses that would allow you to negotiate group situations in which <br />members hold strong, differing opinions. Give a specific example if possible. <br />Page 2 of 21 <br />Interested Applicants <br />6/4/2019 11:49:54 AM <br />June 24, 2019, Meeting – Item 1
