Experience
Director - Economic Development & Special Projects
Feb 2008 — Present · Tulsa, OK, US
At CNB, I help drive economic growth by evaluating and deploying development tools, programs, and incentives that build a thriving regional economy.My economic development leadership includes spearheading Cherokee Nation\'s strategic economic planning initiatives, deploying New Markets Tax Credits to generate community investment, and delivering regional economic analysis and support that guides critical business decisions. I actively cultivate economic growth through business attraction and retention efforts, partnering with employers across diverse sectors to expand opportunities throughout the region.As CNB\'s resource for economic and community development, I serve as an in-house consultant across departments and initiatives, providing strategic guidance on complex economic challenges and translating market insights into actionable recommendations. I assist leaders throughout the organization in navigating development opportunities, assessing project feasibility, and optimizing resource allocation for maximum community impact.I enjoy tackling high-stakes special projects that others find challenging, with proven success in business continuity, renewable energy development, grants development and management, infrastructure advancement, and policy analysis. My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on implementation to deliver results in complex, time-sensitive environments.
