I am a second-year student at Dawson Community College, where I am currently pursuing a welding program while competing as a Track and Field athlete. I am a Native American Assiniboine from the Fort Belknap Reservation, and my hometown is the small community of Dodson, Montana, where I have lived for almost my entire life. Growing up in a small community has shaped who I am and has taught me the importance of hard work, perseverance, and staying connected to my roots. At Dawson Community College, I am working toward building a successful career in welding while continuing to grow as an athlete and as a person.
