I\'ve worked in Air, Land, and Water programs, with a focus on Tribal programs in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. I am dedicated to ensuring that communities have access to information and resources, sharing knowledge, and connecting and empowering people. I am inspired and continue to work towards fostering the arts and in cultural preservation and enthusiastic about creative and artistic approaches to communicate and raise awareness on environmental and public health issues.
