My motivations for learning and to serve tribal communities in areas of Special Education, Behavioral Health Sciences, Addictions/Therapeutic Treatment Modalities, and service duty within local Indigenous organizations. The Maternal & Child Healthcare and Neurodevelopmental disabilities will enhance a leadership action plan in the improvement of service within diverse indigenous nations for women, children and family support systems. ArizonaLEND seminar lecture series is a highly beneficial learning experience of professional leadership.

For the past 13 years, I have worked in the public school system as an early intervention teacher and CIP non-violent crisis intervention trainer.
I earned a BS from the University of Arizona in 2005 and a M.ED from Northern Arizona University in 2013 focusing of education leadership. I am so excited to be part of AZLEND. I am looking forward to expanding my leadership skills and learning more about public policy directed at assisting individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders and their families.
