2019 Indigenous Knowledge Retreat →

My entire professional career has focused on the success of Native American students in higher education at the faculty, programmatic and administration levels, with a major emphasis on tribal colleges in northern Minnesota.

Since 1996, I have served in leadership roles throughout my career beginning as the Director of College Programs for the American Indian Science & Engineering Society (AISES), a nationally-focused nonprofit organization with the mission of increasing the number of Native Americans pursuing the STEM disciplines.

I have had the pleasure to serve in the following capacities:
1) Science faculty and NSF Project Director at Leech Lake Tribal College, Minnesota
2) Founding President of Red Lake Nation College, Minnesota
3) Academic Dean and NASA Project Director at White Earth Tribal and Community College, Minnesota, and
4) Executive Director of the Native Youth Alliance of Minnesota.
