My greatest accomplishments are the center of my life, my family!  While my education credentials and the work I do as a Behavioral Health Specialist for the Santee Sioux Nation are honorable, my family is the whole of my life!  I have served on the NICC Board of Directors twice once in the 90’s and again starting in 2013.   I worked as the NICC Santee Director of Student Support Services from 1993 – 2001.  I have a strong belief that students deserve the opportunity to attend post-secondary education.  It makes me happy to serve when I hear about the accomplishments of students and the successes of staff.  I never miss graduation because this is the gallery of a lot of dedicated hours.  Because the NICC BOD is made up of equal parts Omaha Tribe and Santee Sioux Nation, I want to make sure that strong leaders are a part of the BOD representing Santee Sioux Nation.
