LPO Senior Consultant, Tribal Energy Loan Guarantee Program
Department of Energy
Northville, Michigan, United States
Boozhoo and Kwekwe, I am a Senior Consultant with the Tribal Energy Finance Program at the DOE Loan Programs Office. My most recent position prior to DOE was on the Advancement Team at NDN Collective, where we supported Indigenous Self Determination through rematriation of resources, built capacity, and centered Indigenous voices and communities through advocacy and storytelling. My passion lies in connecting Indigenous communities to resources that support community goals and self-determination in areas such as clean energy development, energy efficiency, housing, food systems, language and culture, and others.
I have helped diverse organizations such as Government agencies and laboratories, Universities, and non-profit and for-profit companies design and implement programs to empower communities. I was born and raised in Detroit, and I've followed my path to significant stops in CA, AZ, CO and back to Michigan. I am Mohawk from Kahnawake Mohawk Territory, QC and Anishinaabe descent from Sault Ste. Marie, MI and Aundeck Omni Kaning, ON. I received my BS and MS Degrees in Materials Science and Engineering from Michigan State University and the University of California at Berkeley, respectively.
