I'm Miwok, with ancestral homelands surrounding Sacramento, California. Our stories and sovereignty are not relics of the past — they are the foundation for powerful futures. I believe technology should serve Native communities, not define us. My work focuses on using tech thoughtfully to amplify Indigenous knowledge, voices, and resilience.

Currently, I serve as President of Natives in Tech, a national nonprofit where I lead efforts to connect Native communities to technology through mentorship, education, and culturally-rooted innovation. I also work as a Cultural Technologist for a Federally Recognized Tribe, designing and implementing STEAM education initiatives, digital storytelling projects, and grant-funded programs that expand youth access to Tribal knowledge systems.

🔹 Core Values: Indigenous self-determination, ethical storytelling, cultural preservation, and community-driven innovation.
🔹 Key Strengths: Program development, digital education strategy, grant writing, cross-sector partnerships, cultural technology leadership, instructional design, eLearning technical development, learning management system integration, professional voice over coordination, evaluation and assessment, multimedia and document design

I am passionate about growing projects where Indigenous sovereignty, education, and technology converge. I’m seeking opportunities to scale my impact — leading broader initiatives that strengthen community agency, uplift Native voices, and build future-ready infrastructure for the next generations.

In my day job I am a Cultural Technologist with 15+ years of experience bridging journalism, technology, and Indigenous community leadership. My work lives where cultural preservation meets innovation: building pathways for Indigenous self-determination through education, storytelling, and digital solutions.
