Overview
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 American Indian Health in 2021 working with Best Practices Core and our COVID-19 health communications campaign. My work focuses on sharing evidence-based and culturally specific interventions and resources to promote wellbeing and health equity specifically for Native people.
