Alongside her passion for design, the past 5 years she has immersed herself into Indigenous issues in the state of Utah, and served as the Committee Chair to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Utah where she aims to educate the community and provide spaces for support and healing.

In her spare time, she enjoys connecting with friends over a well-considered meal.

"Living in Utah as an Indigenous mother has made me value learning from cultures other than my own and being in agreement that no one should ever face racism. We do not get to choose where we are born or what we look like, but we can choose how to behave inclusively. I want to be a part of UROR in order to ensure that local families who have faced racism know that there is a community actively advocating on their behalf."
