"Conservation has been a lifelong passion of mine. As a child, I experienced the exhilaration of being in the outdoors. I studied conservation in both college and grad school, and it has been the focus of my volunteer and community service as an adult. In my law practice, I have worked extensively on conserving and protecting natural spaces and working landscapes, and I understand the importance of respecting our land and resources. That’s why I’ll be a responsible steward for our environment in the Roundhouse."
