✨I am overjoyed to announce that I’ll be joining the faculty at the University of Minnesota this fall as an Associate Professor in the Department of Forest Resources! I’m so excited to collaborate with an incredible group of scholars @UMNews. Midwest friends, get in touch! 🎉

Just us four Coeur d’Alene women representing at the Affiliated Tribes of the Northwest Indians Climate Summit. So happy to see the young ones here! I love this event with national tribal leaders. @atnitribes

Delighted to share a new paper out today in Science! We discuss federal climate incentives, challenges, and opportunities. And we present a roadmap for bold action to address unmanageable time scales, limited access to information, and a need to build capacity. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Opportunities to grow tribal clean energy in the US

Bold action is needed to address unmanageable time scales, limited access to information, and a need to build capacity

I’m giving a talk today hosted by the Dept. of Soil and Water Systems at the University of Idaho! Very excited to talk about working with my tribe (Coeur d’Alene) and meeting with new collaborators in person!

Excited to announce that I’ve been selected to be a Chapter Lead for the first-ever U.S. National Nature Assessment! Together we will create a broad and holistic understanding of nature to inform decision making and planning. www.globalchange.gov/our-work/ann...

How many pieces of chocolate did it take to get through the term? 100! I always have chocolate available for student drop-in hours. I pass them out to faculty too. I ate the last of the variety pack on Wednesday after we wrapped up Intro to Forest Ecology @ubcforestry

Who’s going to #AGU2023#AGUIndigenous session! Message me to meet up at the conference too! Can’t wait! 🌁

At the Fire Ecology Conference this week?! Check out Ignace Lab Indigenous MSc student Gracie Crafts at the poster session on Tue, Dec. 5th 12-2pm! She will highlight fire impacts on diversity and culturally important plants. @fireecology #FireCon2023 @ubcforestry

I had the best time giving a talk for @UConnNRE last week! Such a feel good moment to have my undergrad @maddy_mcdonnell from Smith College do the introduction. She’s doing amazing as a PhD student with Dr. Beth Lawrence as her advisor. Lots of fun meetings too.

Hi everyone! Good to see you on this platform. I’m a member of the Coeur d’Alene tribe studying the impacts of fire, climate change, and introduced species on ecosystem health. My cat’s name is Chimichanga and I like to play board/card games with my husband. Lately we’ve been playing Yahtzee!!! 🎲
