Rooted in Oklahoma and raised in the wide-open landscapes of Wyoming and Colorado, I seek to bridge the worlds of Indigenous culture, outdoor recreation, and snow sports. As a Delaware (Lenape) Tribal citizen, I bring a deep understanding of land, community, and the responsibility to reconnect people to place - whether that's on the slopes, in the backcountry, or through youth cultural programs. I grew up surrounded by the outdoors - skiing in the Rockies, camping in the plains, and learning to see land as both teacher and relative. Today, I channel that upbringing into my work as an&nbsp;Indigenous liaison for the outdoor and snow sports industries, helping create culturally grounded, inclusive programs that honor Indigenous presence and knowledge. My unique path blends hands-on experience in&nbsp;Tribal community development, consulting, and cultural education with a lifelong passion for outdoor adventure. I work to ensure that snow sports and recreation spaces are accessible, respectful, and empowering for Indigenous youth and communities. If you're interested in working together, send me a message!
