Im the Economic Development Director for my tribal government. Im the point of contact between my organizations executive leadership and other governments and entities: local, state, tribal, and federal. Its basically a ton networking, creating partnerships, securing funding, and project management.

I get to pursue a lot of big projects. Right now Im working on getting our own tribal ISP and utility companies started, helping our medical cannabis company get up and running, and getting my tribe to start growing healthy foods through farming and year-round greenhouse operations. Theres a ton of other things Im working on that arent quite as far along as those projects. Its pretty exciting.

I also do a lot of smaller things like helping tribal members secure funding to start their own business, setting up job training and certification courses, grant writing, and regular managerial duties.
