I do not have specific experience related to the committees but do have substantial experience on other committees

representative selected. I am 29 years old and have been involved in the legal community since 2004 and actively
practiced law since 2007. I have routinely been one of the youngest professionals in my field and feel that I have
built up my reputation fairly quickly for being not only a hard worker but a dedicated professional I believe that my
previous and current board/committee experience will help me work with all types of personalities to do what is best
for the community as a whole. Also my ge and experience may bring in a different view to the committees
Please provide a brief explanation of your interest or any special qualifications you have in this field and your reasons

I would say that my legal background could be of particular help with the committees. I am interested in the
committees because I love Atlantic Beach. I want the area to not only stay as beautiful and inviting as it is today but
to only get more beautiful and inviting. I want to do whatever is possible to contribute to the community and hope
my skills and experiences can be used to help Atlantic Beach continue to be the desired area of Florida it is today.
