ABOUT
Director of TRIO Student Support Services | SKC Alumna | Multi-Disciplinary Artist with 26 years of dedicated service to Salish Kootenai College, my career is a testament to the transformative power of tribal education. As an alumna of both SKC and the TRIO SSS program, I bring a unique “full-circle” perspective to my leadership, advocating for students with the same passion that fueled my own journey. My heritage—Salish, Scottish, and Irish—informs both my professional ethics and my life as an artist. Whether I am navigating student success strategies or expressing myself through painting, carving, and sandblasting, I am driven by a respect for tradition and a commitment to growth. I find my greatest balance in the outdoors—hunting, fishing, and sharing life with my family, friends, and pets.
