“When I was a kid, I remember sitting on the living room floor listening to my great grandfather tell stories of the time he spent in the Korean War. He was a purple heart recipient and an incredible storyteller. Storytelling is at the core of Navajo culture and much of our traditional knowledge is oral history passed down from generations. I am excited to be a part of the Avid Core team and to share stories and connect storytellers to positively impact lives. As a recent graduate, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside my local city mayor in spearheading opioid prevention seminars and intern with a national non-profit tribal housing office in Washington, DC. I am grateful for these opportunities and experiences in my young career and look forward to the many more in the future.”
