Bio

I am a full time mom, wife hold a full time job. As a Native American woman, I strive for equity in and outside of the workplace. My passions are enjoying nature, running, baking and camping. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do right out of High School, so I received my Associate's Degree and took a 10 year hiatus from school. As a mother of two young kids, I wanted to set an example for them, so I decided to return to school to earn my Bachelor's Degree in Integrated Social Science. This is where I learned I also enjoyed Data Analytics, so I am also not pursuing a Minor in Economics. Outside of my family life and my full time job, I advocate for justice for Native American Women and Women in the Workplace.
