Bozho Nikanek! I am a registered member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation and an Assistant Professor in the University of Minnesota’s Department of Forest Resources. I am also an associate faculty member of the American Indian Studies Department and an Institute on the Environment Fellow. I support tribal sovereignty and work to foster collaborative and respectful research relationships.

My research supports interdisciplinary sustainable natural resource management research with a focus on: (1) understanding and incorporating tribal perspectives into natural resource management (2) developing frameworks and best practices for building successful tribal partnerships for natural resource management, long-term planning, and research; and (3) analyzing diversity and inclusion within natural resource management institutions and higher education.
