I have lived in San Luis Obispo since 1982,and I am a graduate of Cal Poly. I have worked for the past eight years as an Environmental Specialist for the County of San Luis Obispo. In this position I am responsible for performing environmental review per the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for new public and private projects in the unincorporated area of the county. Protection of historic and prehistoric cultural resources is an important aspect of my current work. Though my educational background is primarily in natural sciences, I have always harbored a keen interest in history and archaeology. During the eight years in my current occupation, I have had the opportunity to become more involved with these fields, and have now become the primary public contact for the County regarding historic and archaeological resources. Through my position I have gained a good understanding of the laws governing protection of cultural resources, and an excellent working knowledge of the applications of CEQA to the protection of these resources. In addition, I have worked extensively with local archaeologists, historical resource specialists, governmental bodies, and the development community regarding cultural resources. I feel that my experience, interest, and desire to expand my knowledge of cultural resources could be a positive contribution to the City of San Luis Obispo. I look forward to working with the Cultural Heritage Committee and I hope to contribute to the valuable work undertaken by the Committee. �I y S
