My goal in life is to inspire people of all ages to learn the ways of our people. As nehiyan (indigenous people) we were stripped of who we really are. Our culture and language taken away.

Friendly and outgoing support focused on comprehensive, life-based approaches to education. Energetic problem solver, skill-builder and conflict resolver.
