Unify our tribal communities for common interest.
Simple solutions taking one step at a time to provide the common good with collective thinking .

Our Story
As a lifelong resident of the Pyramid Lake Reservation and an active leader, I was encouraged in my youth to get educated and return to help our People. From Natchez elementary (in Nixon and Wadsworth) to pursing a Master's degree in Hydrology at UNR, I have dedicated my work to serving our People and our resources.
Helping those in need eliminates bias by looking past personal differences and focus on the fair benefit for which the matter is brought before us. A primary duty under the oath of office is being impartial, so being fair is paramount as an elected official.
It wold be great if our youth can be encouraged to learn job skills, learn a trade, get a college degree, or gaining professional experience to come home and help the Tribe. I will always advocate for our youth.
INFORMATION SHARING
Achieving solutions is better served by applying a teamwork approach, by sharing ideas, by listening, and applying common sense.
When questions go unanswered for years, and no information is provided, time and time again, it becomes a matter of trying to hide in the open. Actions can reveal personal intent.
right to vote
INHERENT RIGHT
I believe we all have a right to vote in our elections regardless of our residency. The 1936 train of thought tends to rear its presence just as the dominant colonial imperialism can cause us to divide ourselves through petty jealousies. Let us all have a say in our elections by exercising the right to vote.

Presentations
I recently made four presentations, at the University of Arizona Law School, at the Nevada Water Resource Association, at the EPA Region 9 Regional Tribal Operations Committee, and at the EPA Region 9 Annual Conference. I selected a few slides from each presentation and talk about them in the Resource Management Section.
