My motivation to work at ANHC is because when I was a young person up until now, I have always promised I would use my education to care for my people, Native people, and working at ANHC is allowing me to fulfill that promise while living away from my tribe. I have had the opportunity to work with the Missoula community as a therapist and find it rewarding but I have found that, as a individual, I am missing an important piece to who I am and that is to feel connected to my Native community/identity. At ANHC I believe I have found that connection and look forward to providing that same sense of connection and security to all the relatives we serve. I’m just a Rez Girl reaching my goals! Aye!

Some hobbies and interests are being outdoors in various capacities, being in relationships with the earth, beading, sewing, creating in various capacities, cooking, and visiting with friends and family, I love singing and dancing (but not in competition!), I enjoy a good book but as a mom audible is my best friend! I also love spending time with my immediate family that includes my partner-in-chaos (husband), Julian, and our 6 children who keep us plenty busy!
