I identify as Black/Hausa (West African descent), Indigenous Chahta, Osage, and White. I have a degree in Social Work from Portland State University and grew up in the NE Portland area. I am employed as the Green Workforce Academy Coordinator through Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA) in partnership with Ecotrust. I am very excited to be in this role as I have always been and continue to be invested in our community and dedicated to diversifying green jobs locally.
