   I was appointed as an Executive Board Member and External Relations Officer for the American Indian Student Association (AISA), where I represent Indigenous students and strengthen the organization’s presence on campus and beyond. In this role, I actively engage in outreach to umbrella organizations, cultural groups, and campus partners to build meaningful relationships and collaborative opportunities. My work focuses on creating connections that expand AISA’s network, amplify Indigenous voices, and support shared advocacy, programming, and resource access.Serving in external relations allows me to bridge communities, foster cross-organizational partnerships, and ensure AISA is represented in broader conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion.
