Hello!

I am excited to submit my application for the Community Engagement Lead position at the Foundation for America’s Public Lands. With a deep-seated passion for public lands, coupled with extensive experience in community engagement and event planning, I am eager to contribute to your mission of sustaining our nation’s precious lands and waters.

My background includes over five years of experience in community engagement, event management, and strategic communication. As the founder of Dawning On LLC, I have honed my skills in developing and implementing comprehensive engagement strategies, managing complex logistics, and fostering collaborative relationships with diverse stakeholders. My role in leading communications for various organizations and initiatives, including the Fisheries Resource Volunteer Corps and America’s Great Outdoors, has equipped me with the expertise to effectively engage and mobilize communities around shared goals.

The Foundation’s mission resonates deeply with me, and I am particularly inspired by your commitment to bipartisan solutions and practical action. I am confident that my experience, skills, and passion make me a strong candidate to lead your community engagement efforts and help build a sustainable future for our public lands and waters.

I am eager to discuss how my background and vision align with the goals of the Foundation for America’s Public Lands. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your next stage of growth.
