I am from the Fort Yuma Quechan Tribe in Western Arizona/Southern California. I am a sister and auntie to many. I obtained my bachelor's degree from Louisiana State University with a focus in Marketing. I am an advocate for higher education, and I believe in setting healthy examples for the generations after me. I have been fortunate enough to hold space within many communities which have contributed to my blended background. It has always been a personal goal of mine to help my people in any way possible. I believe in empowering Native people. I believe in showing up for each other and walking in our power.
