There are really good things happening in Everett,and involvement on <br /> this commission would place me with others who are equipped with the tools to keep good things happening in <br /> Everett,particularly in regards to cultural events. <br /> Please provide background,experience,and qualifications that would assist you in serving on this board/ <br /> commission: I graduated in 2008 with degrees in Painting and Illustration from Indiana Wesleyan University. <br /> In March of 2009 I moved to North Everett with specific intentions to grow up and be a productive member in <br /> a community. My ultimate goals were to apply my self to a creative community or somehow use my training <br /> to serve a community creatively. Moving to Everett was one of the greatest steps toward progress. My first <br /> week in town I took a job at the Downtown Everett Starbucks. What a perfect place to work! I feel as though I <br /> already literally serve the entire community! Not only do I get to be a servant to the community as I make them <br /> coffee,but I also help create a place where ANY one can come and be acknowledged and even known. I know <br /> so many people because of my job,and knowing people and feeling a connectedness to them makes me love <br /> Everett so much! So,my job has definitely given me a hearty dose of Everett which I can't get enough of. One <br /> of the most valuable skills I have learned is to listen. My customers are the movers and shakers in Everett,and <br /> they are also the students,the lonely,the homeless,the affluent,the people who live 5 doors down. Learning <br /> to really observe and listen with a keen ear is one of my most valued skills that I have developed on the job. I <br /> want to share with this commission how I see and experience Everett. <br /> List past or present community involvement: Fresh Paint Artist Festival Artist 2010,Galapalooza Artist <br /> 2010,member at the YMCA,Volunteer at Schack Art Center Glass Auction 2010,artwork on display and for <br /> sale at the Art Gallery Store and Silver Cup Coffee,Zippy's Open Mic Night every Thursday, 3231 Creatives <br /> on Broadway Steering Team Member,I ride my bike to work everyday on Colby Avenue (it is cheesy,I know, <br /> but I wave to people sometimes as I ride into work),I lived on a sailboat in the Everett Marina for 5 months in <br /> 2010,Milltown Neighborhood Church. <br /> Signature Kimberly A.Williams <br /> Date Jan. 10,2010 <br />
