Ewan RE: City of Miami Historic and Environmental Preservation Board Application Dear Sir/Miss: As a Miami native, preservation of our historic sites and environment has always been very important to me. Miami is a relatively young city but with an astounding amount of history that should be taken care of I remember reading about the Miami Circle as a child and hoping that such an important historic monument would be preserved. Several years later, I was disappointed to see the landmark Miami Orange Bowl torn down. Being so young, I was not sure how I could get involved and speak out against these types of injustices. The passion to make a difference in my community inspired me to go to law school. During my second summer in law school, I interned at the Coral Gables City Attorney' s Office where I learned about the importance of zoning and land use law. My time at the City Attorney' s Office furthered my interest in preservation and becoming involved in our community to make a difference. I have recently moved to the historic Edgewater community of the City of Miami and as a Miami local, I frequent many of our historic sites such as Vizcaya, Deering Estate as well as our Florida Everglades. Although I currently work in the commercial sector as an attorney for an aviation company, it would be an honor to be given the opportunity to give back to my City by advancing and supporting City initiatives. Thank you for considering me as a Board Member for the City of Miami Historic and Environmental Preservation Board. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.
