I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley and moved to Humboldt County in 2019. I completed my A.A. at College of the Redwoods and transferred to Cal Poly Humboldt where I received my B.A. in Philosophy with a minor in Comparative Ethnic Studies. I’ve always been passionate about social and cultural justice. With the support of my partner, family, friends and mentors, I was able to pursue my passions which led me to my position at Humboldt Area Foundation & Wild Rivers Community Foundation.

I am grateful to be a part of the Klamath River Fund where I will serve as Program Manager. I am excited to be a part of the community based liberatory work that aims to aid in the healing of communities of color that have been directly affected by colonization, exploitation, and extractivism throughout the Klamath basin.

I intend to continuously move with integrity and accountability at the forefront of my work as I navigate my role as the Klamath River Fund program manager.
