She has a B.A. in Anthropology and a Master’s Degree in American Indian Studies, both from the UofA. Her Master’s thesis focused on the traditional leadership system of the Southern Paiute Nation. She has worked with members of BARA since 2002 on a number of Native American environmental impact assessments. To date, she has worked with over 20 tribes in the western United States.
