Executive Director
I lead a nonprofit that serves the 23 Native nations sharing geography with Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
A lot of my work is about building strong relationships and bonds both internally with our staff and externally with our Tribal partnerships, state constituents, and other stakeholders. My days include speaking with staff, advising on program development, speaking with funders, traveling to meet with partners, and communicating the importance of our work.
