As a resident of Central Texas since 1996, I have seen and benefited from the dynamic changes in our community.

Professionally, I am a licensed Professional Engineer in practice since 1993. I have worked in private consulting and industrial staff support, and am currently employed as the project engineer for the Drainage Utility for the City of Killeen, Texas.

Box 409 Georgetown, TX 78626-0409 2006 Application for Boards & Commissions Dear Mayor and City Council members, RECER, CITY SECRV 24 Dec 2005 I am seeking an opportunity to contribute to my new community while leveraging my experience and education in literature and culture. Your open positions in the Library Advisory Board as well as the Arts and Culture Board would provide me the chance to offer a unique perspective to Georgetown. In 2003 I graduated from the University of Leipzig in Germany. The focus of my studies was on literature and culture. In my studies I also learned practical business skills in public relations and marketing communications, of which I further developed practical knowledge through work in different enterprises. In these roles I collected experience organising events, handling customer inquiries and working together with others to realise projects in a timely manner. In addition to my professional experience and education, I also offer my enthusiasm for culture, whether it be theatre, literature or festivals. My European background should be able to offer different perspectives, which should enhance the offerings of Georgetown to its citizens and visitors. I am looking forward to discussing the openings with you and can make myself available at your convenience for an interview.
