As a dedicated systems thinker, my genuine passion lies in advancing postsecondary education and economic growth for Alaska Natives and Native Americans, particularly in supporting entrepreneurship and self-determination. I am committed to leveraging my expertise, talents, and acumen to ignite transformative change, fostering the economic inclusion of Indigenous culture and economics, and working towards a just and equitable economic system.I believe in fostering collaborations that bridge traditional knowledge with contemporary practices, ensuring the preservation and empowerment of Indigenous communities for generations to come. My approach extends beyond isolated solutions, focusing on holistic strategies that unlock access to capital and forge innovative pathways for economic growth, sustainability, and generational wealth.
