Tribal Council Member Seat 2

Born and raised in Humboldt County, I have deep roots in our community. I lived on the reservation in McKinleyville from its establishment in the 1990s through the 2000s, which has shaped my connection and commitment to our people.

I am currently serving my first term on Tribal Council, where I strive to bring a blend of professionalism and dedication to our work. With a background in accounting and human resources, I offer valuable expertise in organizational processes, financial management, and team development.

Beyond my council duties, I actively serve on three other committees and have been a board member of the Tribal Economic Development Corporation (TREDC) for five to six years. My detailed-oriented approach, coupled with a passion for lifelong learning, allows me to continuously bring fresh insights and resources back to our community. I am committed to supporting our members and working to build a stronger, more sustainable future for all.
