I am the Vice President of Tribal Relations at Tribal Ready, Inc. We believe that connecting Native communities to the highest quality broadband service available is fundamental to Tribal Data Sovereignty and Self-Determination.  My journey into the broadband sector comes by way of the telehealth industry.  After having spoken with several Tribes about their level of access to telehealth on their respective Reservations, it goes without saying in this case as without proper broadband access there is no meaningful telehealth.

In addition to supporting my own Tribe (the Pakan’yani Maidu of Strawberry Valley Rancheria) and our initiatives as Co-Chair, I founded a 501c3, non-profit (The One Native Nation Foundation, Inc.) aimed at providing scholarships for Native American youth from both Federally Recognized and Unrecognized Tribes.

Calling upon over 20 years of experience in network, sales and marketing, I've been able to bridge the divide for organizations, both large and small, looking to expand their footprint and forge a path into the future. With respect to our Native Communities, it is now time to ensure not only this generation, but all future generations have the same meaningful access to healthcare, economic opportunities, and education as most of the United States currently enjoys.
