Experiences & Accomplishments
I am a public health practitioner working in partnership with Indigenous communities to increase utilization of public health programs and resources. I am trained in social and behavioral health and health communication and draw from my experience working in direct service. I joined the Center for Indigenous Health in 2021 and currently work on the SPIRIT Project to globally disseminate the Family Spirit Home Visiting Program, as well as the Wise Practices Core. My work focuses on sharing evidence-based and culturally specific interventions and resources to promote wellbeing and health equity specifically for Native people.
