SWAG视频 Me

I am an enrolled member of the Lipan Band of Apache, from southwest Texas. My entire career has been in education either formal or informal. For the past 21 years, my focus has been on Indian education at the secondary, post-secondary, and graduate levels. I oversee the Native American Education Leadership Program (NAELP) under the Office of Indian Education. I am currently the project director for four federal awards from the Office of Indian Education totaling 5.45 million dollars. It has been an honor to serve all students who seek to better their lives and their communities through advanced education.
